Yamaha Silent Electric Strings

Buying Guides
Yamaha has one of the most complete lines of electric bowed strings of any manufacturer on the market, ranging from the entry-level to the professional. While their program started with the now-famous SV-100 "Silent" Violin with headphone jack for personal practice, they quickly embraced the growing market for electric strings, offering wide range of color and feature options at a variety of price points.
Unless we've sold out in the last couple of days, we always have every Yamaha silent and electric violin, viola, and cello model in-stock, in every color, at any given time. We also offer the Yamaha SV-100 and -200 silent basses but due to their size (and the limited space in our small shop!) we don't usually have one on hand, although we are happy to special order one. Read more below about Yamaha's silent and electric violins, violas, and cellos and upright basses.
Violins
Violinists have the widest selection of Yamaha instruments to choose froom. They offer:- the updated, entry-level Yamaha SV-130K (formerly the SV-120, referred to as the Yamaha Concert Select Violin
- the lightweight Yamaha SV-150K (Silent Practice Plus)
- the Yamaha SV-200K (sometimes called the Studio, Pro, or Pro Studio), which combines a more sophisticated tone with a natural feel
- the Yamaha EV-204 and -205, (four-string and five string, respectively) the most electronically sophisticated violins in their product line, (the EV series instruments are also called Performer)
- the professional-level Yamaha SV-250 four-string and Yamaha SV-255 five-string, combining Yamaha's lightest weight design with both their SV-series under-bridge pickup and their true-sounding VPN-1 transducer bridge, along with a powerful, feature-laden off-board preamp.
