The Yamaha YEV104PRO represents the next level in electric violin design, built for performers who demand acoustic-like tone, refined playability, and stunning stage presence. Building on the success of the original YEV series, the YEV104PRO combines a hollow chamber body with a spruce top and maple back, delivering rich, natural resonance that closely mimics an acoustic violin. Enhanced with Yamaha’s exclusive A.R.E. (Acoustic Resonance Enhancement) technology, the bridge offers greater responsiveness and tonal depth, perfect for expressive playing across genres like jazz, pop, and rock.
Its lightweight construction mirrors that of a traditional violin, ensuring comfortable play over long performances. Equipped with Wittner Finetune-Pegs for fast, stable tuning and a sleek, modern design that turns heads on stage, the YEV104PRO is the ideal instrument for serious players ready to elevate their sound and style.
