This instrument is an accomplishment in design, playability and sound quality! I've never felt so comfortable playing an electric violin, let alone a 5 string electric violin. Very easy to transition from an acoustic. It just feels right!
The passive pickup sounds great, even without a preamp. Tone between strings is very balanced and I really enjoy how the C string sounds. Beautifully built and highly recommended!

Description
Striking Presence for Live Performance
The innovative electric violin features an elegant, eye-catching design that can add strong visual impact to any performance. Of course that visual appeal is backed up by solid playability and sound that give the player unprecedented expressive freedom.
A design that radiates impressive presence on stage merges easy playability with visual beauty that will reach the entire audience. Both player and listener experience a new dimension of violin performance.An Easy Switch from Acoustic Violin
The natural touch points and curves allow the player to effortlessly move between the YEV and a standard acoustic violin. The instrument’s shape allows for most standard off-the-shelf Bridge-type shoulder rests, chin rests and tailpieces.
Shape
The organic shape emphasizes the feel and properties of the woods used.
Connectivity
The input impedance of the first device (preamp, direct box, etc.) the instrument connects to has a major influence on the sound quality produced by the speakers. In order to obtain the maximum performance from the instrument, we recommend connecting to a device with an input impedance of more than 1MΩ.
5-piece Body Optimizes Resonance
Carefully selected maple with mahogany and spruce in a 5-layer construction results in excellent response and natural overall sound.
* The black (BL) model has the same construction, but the layers cannot be seen.Walnut Frame Enhances Natural Tone
A 5-layer oil-finished walnut frame offers an ideal blend of flexibility and strength in a design that is not only striking, but also contributes to natural musical resonance.
Bowing Nuances Faithfully Reproduced
The same type of high-output passive bridge pickup that is a highly regarded feature of the SV250 is used. While effectively picking up the sound of the entire instrument, it also captures the instrument’s response and expressive bowing nuances employed by the player.
Selector Switch
With the selector switch, the player can switch between the detour via the volume control of the instrument and the direct output of the pickup. The direct output delivers the full potential of the instrument with rich depth and powerful effect.
Featuring innovative Yamaha sound, these four- and five-string models are gorgeous live-performance instruments.
Inspired by craft and design elements of Yamaha acoustic guitars, Yamaha set out to design a new kind of electric violin made primarily from wooden materials. This instrument takes a design cue from both violin and acoustic guitar shapes, creating a beautiful yet amazingly lightweight instrument made with six different woods. These wood materials are carefully crafted with an airy infinity loop-like design, representing the dimensions of acoustic space, and is as stunning visually as it is fun to play.
Using a unique Yamaha bridge pickup that carries over from professional Yamaha Silent Violins, this instrument delivers a smooth, organic and warm tone. The design incorporates a simple ¼" input to match the clean and natural aesthetic of this innovative electric violin.
