Yamaha YEV105 Electric Violin - 5-String Black Infinity Design | Piano Gallery, Idaho Falls
The Yamaha YEV105 electric violin combines innovative design with exceptional playability for serious performers. This 5-string electric violin features a stunning infinity-loop design with premium tonewoods that produce warm, natural acoustics with the versatility of electric amplification. Ideal for intermediate to professional violinists seeking to expand their sonic possibilities without sacrificing traditional feel.
Product Overview
The YEV105 showcases Yamaha's mastery of instrument construction with its unique five-layer body made from maple, mahogany, and spruce topped with an oil-finished walnut frame. This carefully engineered combination enhances both the visual appeal and acoustic resonance, creating a violin that's as beautiful to behold as it is to play. The ebony fingerboard and maple neck provide familiar comfort to traditional players.
Performance-wise, this electric violin delivers exceptional sound quality through its high-output passive bridge pickup system. The pickup meticulously captures every nuance of your bowing technique, from delicate pianissimos to aggressive fortissimos, preserving the natural tone and dynamic response you'd expect from a fine acoustic instrument. The direct output mode unleashes the instrument's full sonic potential when connected to amplification systems.
The three-dimensional infinity-loop design isn't just visually striking—it represents Yamaha's innovative approach to electric violin ergonomics. This thoughtful design maintains the weight, balance, and feel that traditional acoustic violinists expect while introducing modern capabilities that expand artistic possibilities across multiple musical genres.
