Yamaha YEV-104 PRO Electric Violin - Deep Red

The high-end electric violin that maintains the basic features of the YEV104 while advancing the sound, design and playability. (4 strings)

FEATURES

Appearance worthy of the high-end model

Based on the YEV104 design, upgraded to specifications and appearance appropriate for high-end models. The fingerboard is also colored to look good on stage.

Luxurious Design Deserving of the High-End Model

An electroforming tuning fork sticker is used. This glossy sticker gives a luxurious touch deserving of the high-end model.

Unified color of chin rest fittings

For the YEV104, the color of the chin rest fittings is silver. For the YEV104PRO, however, the color was changed to black to be consistent with the other chin rest parts. Care has been taken down to smallest details to ensure a sense of unity.

Body Structure closer to acoustic violin

Similar to an acoustic violin, the body is made of spruce on the top board and maple on the back board. It also has slits on the side and a hollow inside like an acoustic violin. This structure delivers a richer, more acoustic sound as well as a quicker response.

Improved bridge specifications

The A.R.E. treatment (*1) has been applied to the bridge maple wood to further improve the sound quality and response. The shield cover (*2), which is mounted on both sides of the bridge for the YEV104, remains only on the tailpiece side for the YEV104PRO. Replacement with a thinner material leaves more freedom for the bridge to move, allowing the bridge to capture delicate changes in bowing and convert them to sound.

(*1) A.R.E. stands for Acoustic Resonance Enhancement, an original wood reforming technology that ages wood in a short period of time to sound like instruments that have been played for years.

(*2) The shield cover is a metal cover that prevents noise generated when the instrument is connected to an amplifier or other device. It is mounted only on one side for the YEV104PRO. However, the pickup is shielded inside, so there is no problem with shielding performance.
