Show-Stopping Design and Performance

Highlighting a unique design, the YEV105 has a Möbius strip like composition that provides a continuity between the front and back. The instrument's striking three dimensional form is sure to turn heads as it enhances the natural beauty of the woods and materials used.

With built in piezo-electric pickup, the YEV105 captures the instrument's response and expressive bowing nuances employed by yourself as you perform. The added selector switch alternates between direct output of the pickup signal and output via the instrument's volume control. Direct output delivers the instrument's full sonic potential with rich lows and a punchy impact.

Select Tonewoods

Resulting in excellent response and a natural sound, carefully selected maple with mahogany and spruce are joined in a 5 layer construction. For extra durability with life on the road, the added 5 layer oil-finished walnut frame offers an ideal blend of flexibility and strength.

Easy Transition From Acoustic

Easily transition from your acousitc violin! The YEV105 is shaped just like a traditional violin, so it can accept all your standard shoulder rests and tailpieces. Offering maximal comfortability, it should be an easy transition for any level of player to make.

Award-Winning Instrument

Bagging the award for 'Best Bowed Instrument', the YEV series impressed judges at the 2016 MIA Trusted Music Store Awards. Complimenting the electric violin's contemporary style, framework, and high quality pickup, they described the instrument as being elegant and fantastic.
