Yamaha YEV 105 Electric 5-String Violin - Black

The Yamaha YEV-105 Electric 5-String Violin in Black is built for violinists who want expanded range and a clean, professional stage sound—without giving up the comfortable feel of a traditional instrument. With a full low C string, it's a strong choice for contemporary worship, pit orchestra work, studio layering, and modern electric violin parts where extended register matters.

Yamaha's distinctive "infinity loop" frame isn't just eye-catching under lights—it's designed to balance naturally and stay comfortable through long rehearsals and gigs. The all-wood build supports an organic response under the bow, while the passive electronics keep your setup simple: plug into an amp, DI box, audio interface, or pedalboard and shape your tone externally. The black finish offers a sleek look while using the same layered wood construction as the natural model (the layers are simply not visible).
