SVV200

EV205 (5-Strings)

EV204 (4-Strings)

Our craftsmen have brought a unique blend of tradition and

technology into an instrument that combines the advantages of an

electric instrument with the feel, playability and sound that is close

to an acoustic. Its silent characteristics let you practice anytime,

anywhere, but soon you’ll want to perform with it on stage or in the

studio where the Silent Viola, and you, will shine.

Top Quality Electronics

Noise free circuitry and line out impedance

optimized for use with professional audio

equipment make the Silent

Viola excellent for use on

stage or in studios where

quality sound is a must. An

EQ mode switch lets you skip

the built-in EQ’s default

setting to take advantage of

high-end equalization and

tone controls available with

professional audio equip-

ment.

Full-Sized Frame

16” scale and full-sized frame

The Electric Violins were designed with the performer in

mind. They deliver a big, expressive sound with enough power to

be heard in any band yet still maintaining the beautiful character-

istic tone of the violin. Yamaha designers and engineers worked

together with leading musicians to create the kind of instruments

which can inspire great performances.

Solid Body Design Incorporates

Unique Soundboard

The Electric Violin’s body is a one-piece design

crafted from a block of solid maple. Just as on an

electric guitar this design offers a stable yet

resonant body which contributes to the powerful

sound of the violin. The soundboard is a single

piece of maple extending from the neck down to

the chin rest. With the bridge resting on the

soundboard it simulates the top of an acoustic

violin causing the soundboard and body to

resonate adding just the right amount of warmth

to the tone.

An Advanced Pickup System

For Massive Sound

The pickup system

consists of individual

sensors for each string,

mounted in a specially

designed bridge. Each

sensor is housed inside a

pendulum upon which the

string rests at the bridge.

This system creates an

extremely large signal – so large in fact that it

needs no preamp to boost its output level. You

can plug directly into a guitar amplifier and get a

broad and powerful electric tone straight away.

4 Or 5 String Models Available

The EV204 is a traditional 4 string violin, while

the EV205 offers an additional 5th low C string to

provide the additional range needed for some

contemporary music. The 5-string model is

designed with a slightly wider neck which makes

switching to a 5-string instrument as easy as

possible.

design will make the violist feel comfortable from

the start. While providing a more natural feel, its

all-wood frame is finished with a special black

matte finish and can accommo-

date nearly any standard chin and

shoulder rest.

Dual Pickups Offer

Greater Dynamic Range

A two pickup configuration

delivers greater sonic resolution

thereby increasing the dynamic

range of the instrument. This

allows the violist to play from

pianissimo to fortissimo with

greater clarity while delivering

more of the nuances produced by

the bow and playing techniques.

EQ Control

A special circuit designed by Yamaha isolates

and controls the instrument’s upper harmonics,

which have a great influence on the overall tone.

Modifying the tonal color makes it possible to

adjust to

individual

playing styles,

room condi-

tions, the PA

system, etc.

“I've been playing Yamaha since they introduced the first

generation of electric strings. The Silent Violin was a

terrific concept - great sound and features through

headphones. Of course the most recent models are my

favorites, the EV205 and SVV200 (I am, after all, a true

viola soul!). I play them loud, red and often!”
