The Yamaha YEV105 Electric Violin is inspired by craft and design elements of Yamaha's amazing acoustic guitars. Yamaha set out to design a new kind of electric violin made primarily from natural and rich wooden materials.
This instrument takes a design cue from both violin and acoustic guitar shapes, creating a beautiful yet amazingly lightweight instrument made with six different woods. These wood materials are carefully crafted with an airy infinity loop-like design, representing the dimensions of acoustic space, and is as stunning visually as it is fun to play.
Using a unique Yamaha bridge pickup that carries over from professional Yamaha Silent Violins, this instrument delivers a smooth, organic and warm tone. The design incorporates a simple ¼” input to match the clean and natural aesthetic of this innovative electric violin.

Möbius strip-like shape provides continuity between front and back and appeas to the audience when performing live.
