Overview
The YSV104 Silent Violin offers incredible tone and modern looks, making it perfect both for practice and for performance.
We've built the YSV104 around our Studio Response Technology (SRT) which processes and sculpts the sound of the violin in realtime. As a result, even without the natural resonance chamber of a acoustic instrument, the YSV104 is able to faithfully recreate the warm, clear tone and ambience of a traditional violin.

Features
The first Silent Violin to feature Studio Response Technology (SRT)
Although the YSV104 is a solid-body instrument that does not resonate like an acoustic violin, the SRT system faithfully reproduces the rich presence and tonal variety that are appealing characteristics of acoustic violin sound. Left and right channel volume, frequency response, and delay have been carefully optimised so that the performer can play while hearing realistic acoustic tone and resonance via the earphones.
Acoustic form makes switching instruments easy
The layout of the bridge, tailpiece, neck, and other parts is the same as an acoustic violin, and the ability to use standard off-the-shelf Bridge-type shoulder rests facilitates a smooth, stress-free transition from acoustic violin to the Silent Violin and back. Correct bow angle and finger placement give beginners a solid foundation to grow from.
Streamlined control box supports practice
Two reverb modes provide ambience perfect for practice and playing. The 'Room' mode provides realistic room ambience that is ideally suited to practice, while the 'Hall' simulates the deep, rich reverb of a concert hall for pure playing enjoyment or on-stage performance. An external audio player can be connected to the control box for play-along practice.
