Yamaha SV-250 Professional Silent 4-String Violin

Designed for working players, the Yamaha SV-250 Professional Silent Violin delivers an amplified sound that adapts easily across classical, jazz, pop, and contemporary styles. Yamaha built the SV-250 to maintain a familiar, acoustic-like feel—right down to its comfortable playing balance—so violinists can move between their acoustic instrument and a professional electric violin without a learning curve.

At the heart of the SV-250 is an innovative dual pickup system that lets you blend from an edgy electric voice to a richly acoustic character, capturing both immediacy and depth under the bow. The dedicated external control box keeps weight down on the instrument while giving you quick access to volume and tone shaping, plus flexible outputs for rehearsal rooms, pedalboards, and full sound reinforcement systems.
