The new Yamaha YEV series electric violins have broken new ground in design, performance, and price. We’ve enjoyed having the 104 model 4-string in stock, but we just received the 105 5-string in the black finish. In pictures, I was personally a fan of the “natural” finish. After seeing the black in person, I have to say that it is absolutely stunning. The gloss black finish on the body is flawless while the matte black finish of the neck feels silky smooth. At $649, it offers previously unheard of performance levels at this price point. We have two in stock and I don’t think they’ll be here long…come and visit so you can try one for yourself!
Looking at getting a 104. Is it safe to hang it on the tuning pegs like that long term? I want to mount it on my wall but it has that narrow head.
