Great value, decent fiddle
Color: Natural
Excellent so far - just tuned it up, plugged it in to my little practice amp and it sounded great!

Responsive, Articulate & Beautiful Sound
Color: Black
I can’t believe how responsive this violin is to every nuance of playing — and the articulation is genuinely impressive. For the price, this instrument is an absolute gem. I truly hope it will serve me for many years. Overall: Exceptional Dynamic Responsiveness, Nuanced & Articulate, Expressive Sound Quality, Beautiful Tone & Rich Sound. The shipping was also incredibly fast — thank you so much! I’m excited to explore all the new possibilities this violin opens up :) ... show more

Beautiful and sounds great
Color: Black
I’ve received tons of compliment on this violin. Very elegant looking, and sounds very much like an acoustic violin too when plugged in.

Exceptional instrument
Color: Natural
this is my first violin. I’m turning 60 and realizing it’s never too late to learn an instrument that you love. I decided for my first violin to have an electric one that is quiet because I live in a townhome and I figured while I learn the neighbors do not need to be suffering through it. The Yamaha sounds perfect without an amp, just loud enough that you can practice and yet effortlessly pump up the volume through an amp at your discretion. The fit and form is impressive and the feel is exceptional. Fellow students remember to put a lot of Rosin on your bow or else this is truly the quietest violin you’ll ever experience.... but once you have sufficient Rosin on the bow it produces a beautiful sound. ... show more

In the world of quality electric violins, this is the very best value.
Color: Black
You cannot get more for less money. The better violins cost vastly more but are not crazy better than going with this. Diminishing returns for the money once you move up the price range. What's cheaper than this is not nearly as good. So this violin hits a sweet spot in the market. If you buy this and give up on playing the violin or hate it, then you'll have no trouble selling this. This isn't about what's best but more of a value for the money should you be serious about getting into violins or adding your first electric to the collection. Also, isn't that such a pretty shape? Ergonomics are great if you are coming from acoustic violins and the extra weight is more towards your shoulder so you can still feel comfortable with this one. If your brand new to violins and want sonething that can be played quietly or paired with wild effects for fun, consider buying one of these. Find what works for you, however do yourself a favor and go through a ton of research. You'll be glad you did. I must go now, lots to learn on a violin. Patience lol ... show more

Excelente calidad - precio
Color: Natural
Instrumento muy versátil , el sonido es lo más semejante a un violín acústico , modelo ergonómico ligero, la altura de las cuerdas es cómoda , tiene una respuesta bastante rápida y un sonido nítido brillante ,el único detalle que no me gusta es que viene sin estuche a diferencia de otros violines eléctricos que vienen en su estuche ... show more

I love this violin! 🎻
Color: Black
The overall quality of this instrument is amazing! Pretty easy to tune though I feel the pegs could be fitted a tad better. The action is relatively low which is perfect for doing clean fast runs, so this instrument will force you to focus more on tone rather than projection since it’s obviously amplified. One of the things I love about this violin is that it still has the normal harmonics of a regular violin. You can hear and feel when you are in tune. Perfect for gigging and practicing. ... show more

Beautiful instrument, excellent for quiet practice without amp, headphones
Color: Black
I wanted to practice violin but with my spouse working from home, I had few options. I wanted to try a silent violin or electric violin and fell in love with the appearance of the YEV-104, but I don't have an amplifier, and you can't plug headphones directly into this instrument and expect to hear anything. I was delighted to find that I can indeed get a decent, though quiet, sound from the YEV-104 without an amp! It's like playing my acoustic violin with a practice mute. I can hear what I'm playing, the wood of the frame resonates like my acoustic, and my shoulder rests fit perfectly. The YEV-104 weighs more than my acoustic violin, but otherwise, feels the same. It fits my standard violin case. The YEV-104 is gorgeous to look at. The sculptural look of the frame, an infinity-loop, caught my eye the first time I saw it, so it begs to be played. It will be an eye-catching instrument to perform with. BIG THANK YOU to instrumentpro; ordered my violin on a Thursday morning, (used, like new conditions - and it looks like a new instrument!) and it arrived, well-packed, on Saturday afternoon. Super transaction! Will write a follow-up review when I am able to play it with an amplifier. ... show more
