The revolutionary Yamaha EV-204 Electric 4-String 4/4 Violin is both aggressive and expressive. Sensors under each string resonate 3-dimensionally provide amazing tone. An onboard mixer lets you control the level of each string. The headphone jack can be used for silent practice and as an onstage in-ear personal monitor. Its carved maple body/frame provides acoustic resonance. Geared machine heads provide precise tuning. Custom-designed strings are grounded to a custom tailpiece, eliminating interference. A new approach to the design of electric violins has resulted in a revolutionary pickup system. Yamaha's original design sandwiches a maple bridge within a composite shell. Sensors resonate separately beneath each string giving the tone an incredible depth and dynamic range, with an electric edge.
