Very decent electric violin
Benger 26.09.2021
Build quality seems good. The bridge seems a little high, but not to a bothering level. Some of the tuning pins were a little loose at first, but that is common with many violins and easy to remedy. Placement of the output jack is perfect. Size and handling feel perfectly natural, for someone used to an acoustic 4/4 violin.
The sound will of course be very dependent on the amplifier and speakers / headphones you use (Yamaha recommend amps with at least 1MOhm impedance.). In my case, with the Blackstar Fly Pack Bass, the sound is great - very full even at low gain settings, the pickup is very sensitive, and with the right amp settings, quite natural.
In that sense, it is also great to use with headphones as a practice violin (or even without an amp, because while it is much quieter than an acoustic violin, it is still perfectly audible). Don't expect it to be totally silent.
Of course, this being an electric violin, the options are endless for playing with the sound, adding effects, and as said, the output level is plenty high.
Design is a personal matter, but I find it very elegant and modern at the same time. Out of place neither in a classical setting nor in a rock band.
It does not come with a case, bow or cable: it's just the violin, well packed in its carton box, with premounted strings and the bridge laying flat, and a paper multilingual user manual.
There are much cheaper options on the market, of very different build quality and for a different target, but I do not regret opting for Yamaha quality, and hope that this investment will prove to be the right decision for many years to come.

Beautiful!
Nitch 16.01.2021
Had this for over 2 years. This is a superb instrument. Sounds excellent, is a nice weight, is beautifully made and a joy to hold and play. It also stays in tune remarkably well. Reassuringly, Yamaha are using sustainable wood sources for this violin.

Excellent violon!
Anonymous 07.04.2017
Ce violon est vraiment superbe ! Tant au niveau sonore qu'esthétique.

Je suis chanteur/violoniste dans un groupe de hard rock et j'avais besoin d'un violon électrique pour jouer ensemble en répétition et enregistrer des idées de compositions chez moi.

Ce violon a un son vraiment très riche, et la version à 5 cordes est vraiment pratique pour jouer dans un registre plus rock/metal. Les matériaux sont de qualité et le design du violon très joli. De plus, même si le bois (le "corps" est non traité) est un peu rude au toucher, le violon respire la solidité.

Son design "creux" le rend aussi très léger et permet d'ajuster un support d'épaule standard sans problème.

Le seul problème: le petit bouton pour passer par le potard de volume ou le bypasser complètement (et être donc à "100%", le volume optimal en entrée instrument). Il est super pratique, et je suis content de cette fonctionnalité (je laisse le potard de volume sur 0 constamment, et je le bypasse pour être à 100% quand je joue). Le problème, c'est que le bouton lui-même ne reste pas en place et je dois le repousser régulièrement parce qu'il tombe... Je pense qu'un petit point de colle peut résoudre le problème facilement, mais c'est dommage pour un produit d'une qualité générale si bonne.

Si vous optez pour la version noire, sachez que la laque est vraiment très sensible aux rayures. Même en utilisant des chiffons microfibres, j'ai déjà fait une petite rayure. Enfin, c'est pas comme si le public allait s'en apercevoir. ;-)

Au final, je recommande chaudement ce violon. C'est un très bon achat. Pour ce prix-là, difficile de trouver un violon qui a un aussi bon son!
