    • Much better than I ever expected
The YEV provides a great sound with minimal configuration on my end. I had been using a bridge pick up on an acoustic instrument, and just plugged this in instead and played. It is super lightweight and fits just fine in a regular full-size violin case. As a fiddler/violinist and playing viola many years ago, it plays like a "normal" violin. The five-string variant adds the viola's familiar lower fifth. I didn't require much practice to adapt to the five string version, though the fingerboard is a bit wider. If you're an improv player, this extra lower range can help simplify finger patterns playing in some keys, while also giving you a great warm range for background filler. It took a bit of effort to adjust a new shoulder rest to the weird ribbon-like body. I had trouble with it falling off due to the angled feet not seating flush against the instrument body, so I had to extend the rest's width and then bend the feet in to grab it. Works great now, but that took a bit of of experimentation. If you're using in-ears, you won't hear the instrument much (if at all). I could hear it via bone conduction by really clamping down on it, but just make sure to turn yourself up enough. Overall, a great instrument that I feel comfortable with on stage. ... show more

just played for my church and the yamaha yev 105 sounds so much better and richer than my prior electric violin. definitely worth making this purchase. not to mention it’s lightweight and very comfortable even without a shoulder rest:)

    • Einstein of the violin
Super instrument for the price. Great for classical players who dabble in rock bands. I play it at church and the sound man loves it more than an acoustic with a high-quality pick-up. It's a bit tricky to get used to the angle of the bridge and the 5 strings, but so awesome to have that low C-string for viola sounds. ... show more

    • Beautiful Tone
This is my first and only violin. I'm a guitarist who has always wanted an electric violin, for the beautiful, expressive, sounds they can produce. This instrument is certainly challenging, and it's a whole different world for me. I'm slowly making progress, and although I can not yet say that I'm a "violinist"; I do know and appreciate "tonality". This instrument played through a tiny, solid state, practice amp, sounds rich, fat, and simply beautiful. The 5 strings undoubtedly make it more difficult to master than a traditional 4 string, since the strings are placed closer together. I realized that "going in", but I love having the bigger, gorgeous, lower range available. Once it "clicks" for me, and I actually work on the tone through my (too) many guitar amps, the sound will no doubt be glorious. If you're an accomplished player, and have a reason to go "electric", buy it. You deserve it. ... show more

    • Big bang for the bucks
In that price range, it is hard to beat. It’s my first electric string instrument, and coming from viola i love the 5 strings for an extended range. Sound quality is very reasonable for the price.

    • Do not purchase this.
No customer service to support a faulty instrument. The bridge on this violin will not stay in place when properly tuned. We have taken it to local music shop 3x. Neither Amazon nor Yamaha has been able to provide assistance. In fact, Yamaha has never responded to calls, online inquiry’s or emails.

    • this violin is great for a violinist who is branching into genre music
this is the coolest. I play in a band and this thing has such a warm, unique tone. I've had many folks come up to me after a gig and say they thought they heard a cello in the mix. Nope, just the low C! All in all, this violin is great for a violinist who is branching into genre music. I use it for jazz, folk, rock, blues. Buy this. It is a deal. I am going to be searching for a decent acoustic 5 string as this is not loud enough to be played without an amplifier. ... show more
