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.

The lightweight design, natural touch points, and curves allow the player to effortlessly move between the YEV and a standard acoustic violin.
