A "PRO" Evolution Designed for the Stage
The YEV104PRO / YEV105PRO retain the innovative design that defined the YEV104 / YEV105, while adapting it to the aesthetic and practical demands of a premium model. Yamaha carefully refines every visible element: a specially stained fingerboard to enhance stage presence, an electroformed logo for a more luxurious signature, and chinrest hardware in black finish to visually balance the instrument. This "detail by detail" approach results in an instrument that is immediately recognizable, as pleasing to look at as it is to play.
For Which Musicians and Uses?
This electric violin is aimed at violinists who perform amplified and seek an inspiring experience without losing the sensations of an acoustic instrument. It is particularly suited for intermediate to advanced players who alternate between rehearsals, stage, and recording, and who want an expressive and reliable instrument. Style-wise, it naturally adapts to pop, rock, jazz, contemporary music, and crossover contexts, while remaining relevant for more classical playing when discreet amplification is needed.
Sound Characteristics
The distinctive feature of the YEV104PRO / YEV105PRO is the integration of a resonating body formed by the instrument's body, similar to an acoustic violin. The spruce soundboard provides clarity, precise attack, and definition, while the maple back promotes projection, balance, and beautiful articulation. The side sound holes contribute to a livelier sensation under the bow, with a more dynamic response and a more organic tone.
Regarding amplification, the piezo pickup integrated into the bridge finely captures bow nuances and left-hand details for a direct and expressive reproduction. The specific electronic circuit was developed to work in perfect harmony with the design of the bridge and instrument, maintaining solid lows and a consistent response, including depending on connection configuration and volume control usage. The result: a rich, stable sound ready for the stage.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
This model features a 6.35 mm mono jack output : a good quality 6.35 mm instrument jack cable is therefore recommended to connect it to an amplifier, audio interface, or mixing console. To preserve tuning stability and string longevity, a rosin suitable for your bow and a soft cloth for post-playing maintenance are also essentials.
