Yamaha YEV 105 Electric 5-String Violin - Natural

The Yamaha YEV-105 Electric Violin in Natural is built for players who want expanded range and a clean, stage-ready sound in an instrument that still feels comfortable and violin-like. Its distinctive open-frame design is inspired by the organic beauty of wood and engineered for light weight and balanced playability, making it an easy choice for long rehearsals, worship sets, pit orchestras, and amplified ensembles.

Designed for performance rather than silent practice, the YEV-105 uses a simple passive pickup system that sends signal directly to the output jack—no batteries or onboard menus—so you can shape tone with your amp, DI, pedals, or audio interface. The low C string adds flexibility for modern repertoire, layering, and contemporary parts where extra register makes all the difference.
