Yamaha YVN Model 3 Student Violin Outfit – 3/4 Size | Piano Gallery, Idaho Falls
The Yamaha YVN Model 3 is a thoughtfully engineered student violin outfit that brings Yamaha's commitment to quality construction and consistent playability to the beginning and developing string student. Built around a unique 3-layer graduated wood press construction — spruce top over a maple and spruce back — the Model 3 produces a warm, rich tone with the structural stability and reliability that student instruments demand for daily practice and lesson use. Precision-cut tolerances, laser-cut purfling, and computer-assisted bridge fitting ensure every Model 3 violin meets a consistent standard of setup quality right out of the case. At 3/4 size, this outfit is ideally suited for younger students and players who aren't yet ready for a full-size instrument, and the included ABS case, wood bow, and rosin provide everything needed to begin playing immediately.
Product Overview
The YVN Model 3's construction reflects Yamaha's approach to student instrument design — using modern manufacturing techniques and carefully selected materials to produce a violin that sounds and plays well above its price point while maintaining the durability and consistency that students, parents, and music educators depend on. The three-layer spruce top features graduated thickness distribution in the core that mimics the acoustic properties of a hand-carved top, producing a warmer and more resonant tone than the uniform-thickness laminate tops found on entry-level student instruments. The two-layer maple back with spruce core uses the same graduated thickness approach for a balanced, focused tone with natural projection suited to the practice room and the stage.
Laser-cut purfling and a wood resin inlay along the instrument's edges add structural reinforcement at the body's most vulnerable points, reducing the risk of cracks and separation from the everyday handling that student instruments inevitably encounter. Precision-cut bridge fitting via computer assistance ensures each Model 3 violin receives a bridge specifically fitted to its top geometry — a setup detail that directly affects string action, intonation, and playability. The bridges are also designed to be interchangeable as needed, providing a practical and cost-effective solution for setup adjustments over the life of the instrument.
Hardware and accessories throughout the Model 3 outfit reflect Yamaha's emphasis on durability and ease of use for students. Tuning pegs made from a resin/ebony blend provide better durability and more consistent performance than traditional ebony pegs while using materials more sustainably. The synthetic tailpiece includes integrated fine tuners on all four strings — essential for young students still developing their tuning ear — and the rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth, comfortable playing surface for developing left-hand technique. A composite chinrest and polyurethane finish complete a package that is as durable and maintenance-friendly as it is musically capable.

Key Features
3-Layer Graduated Wood Press Construction The unique three-layer top construction — spruce with graduated thickness distribution in the core — produces both the structural stability needed for student use and a warm, rich tonal character that mimics the acoustic properties of a hand-carved top, setting the Model 3 apart from uniform-laminate student instruments.
Precision-Cut and Computer-Assisted Bridge Fitting Each Model 3 bridge is precision-cut with computer assistance to fit the specific geometry of that individual violin's top — a setup detail that directly improves string action, intonation, and playability compared to generic, unfit bridges found on lower-tier student instruments. Bridges are interchangeable as needed for future setup adjustments.
Laser-Cut Purfling with Wood Resin Inlay Laser-cut purfling and a wood resin inlay along the body edges add structural reinforcement at the violin's most vulnerable areas, reducing the risk of cracks and separation from regular student use and extending the instrument's lifespan.
Resin/Ebony Blend Tuning Pegs Tuning pegs made from a resin/ebony blend provide improved durability and more consistent performance than traditional ebony pegs while using materials more sustainably — a practical long-term benefit for instruments that will see regular, daily use by developing students.
Integrated Fine Tuners on Synthetic Tailpiece Fine tuners integrated into all four tailpiece strings give students immediate, precise tuning adjustment for all strings — essential for beginners still developing their tuning ear and ear training skills.
Complete Ready-to-Play Outfit The Model 3 ships as a complete outfit with an ABS shaped case for safe transport, a wood bow, and a cake of rosin — everything a student needs to begin playing immediately with no additional purchases required.
