The Incredible EV 204 Yamaha Electric Violin
Contemporary violinists are always in search for the two specific characteristics in an electric violin namely,
power and expression. Fortunately, the competent engineers and designers of Yamaha are able to provide both as they
have successfully come up with the EV 204 Yamaha electric violin.
Employing a wonderfully superior pickup system and equipped with a one-piece firm maple body and extraordinary
maple soundboard, this Yamaha electric violin is capable of delivering an aggressive and expressive massive tone.
It is available in three attractive colors such as Pearl Red (PRD), Cosmic Blue (CBL) and Amber (AMB).
An electric violin is defined as a violin designed with an electronic output for its sound. It most certainly
refers to a musical instrument deliberately made to undergo electrification with built-in pickups and usually has a
solid frame. It also refers to a violin that is fitted with an electric pickup of some kind; however,
"electro-acoustic violin" and "amplified violin" are the terms more accurate in such case.
Even though the violin is a musical instrument being employed extensively in classical music, the electric
violin is generally used by classical performers in performing contemporary classical music.
The design for electric violins has taken a new approach and resulted to the revolutionized pickup system.
Sensors reverberate separately underneath each string to provide the tone with an awesome depth, a vibrant range
and an electric edge.
The electric violin signals normally pass through an electronic processing similar to that of an electric guitar
in order to achieve the desired sound.
The electric violins are usually designed with either of the two - magnetic or piezoelectric pickups. One
atypical acoustic/electric violin system adopts the string itself to be a linear lively pickup component.
Made to match the standard acoustic violins, its mere requirement is that the string conducts electrically so
the regular synthetic or steel core strings can be adopted.

Most electric violins that abound in the market today are designed for a speedy sale. Their manufacturers are
marketing such instruments as children's violins for the obvious reason of preventing them to be used for any
serious performance.

in production by 90% and is able to hold its own against most acoustic violins.
The EV 204 Yamaha electric violin therefore has the following fabulous features:
- The sensors beneath each string provide an incredible tone. What sets the EV 204 Yamaha electric violin
Yamaha electric violin apart from the other comparative models in the market today is the fact that it is
capable of producing a genuine classic violin tone that can match most acoustic models. The sad truth for the
other lines is that they fail to sound authentic at all because their electronically-produced tone clearly
shows that much of its brilliance is gone.
- The onboard mixer allows the user to have level control of each string.
- The headphone jack can adequately be used for quiet practice and will serve as an in-ear personal monitor
onstage, thereby allowing the player to practice without having anyone else to hear him. Most players are
discouraged from practicing if they know that everyone else is able to hear them. Another positive thing is
that the players are allowed to readily regulate the volume and tone by making easy adjustments to the master
control knob.
- The carved, solid maple body gives acoustic resonance.
- The geared machine heads are able to provide accurate tuning.
The custom-designed strings are attached to a custom tailpiece to eliminate unnecessary interference.
