Dedicated musicians deserve the freedom to perform with confidence in any environment, and the Yamaha Silent Series SV-255 was created to make that possible. Available now at Haggerty's Music, this professional-grade five-string electric violin seamlessly bridges the gap between traditional craftsmanship and modern performance technology. Designed to feel remarkably familiar in the hands of an acoustic player while offering exceptional amplified sound and near-silent practice capability, the SV-255 empowers violinists to move effortlessly from the concert hall to the recording studio and the live stage.
Crafted with a seasoned spruce top, flamed maple back, and a comfortable maple neck, the SV-255 maintains the natural weight and balance of a traditional 4/4 violin while incorporating Yamaha's innovative Silent Series design. An ebony fingerboard and ebony tuning pegs provide the familiar feel professional players expect, while the lightweight open-frame construction enhances comfort during extended performances. The five-string configuration expands the instrument's musical range with the addition of a low C string, making it equally suited for classical performance, jazz improvisation, contemporary worship, studio work, and progressive styles.
Yamaha's advanced dual piezo pickup system captures both bridge and body resonance, allowing players to blend a focused electric voice with a remarkably natural acoustic character. The included external control box provides comprehensive tone-shaping with master output, bass and treble EQ, headphone volume, pickup blending, balanced XLR output, standard 1/4-inch output, and convenient headphone monitoring for private practice. Whether you're performing on stage, recording in the studio, or practicing without disturbing those around you, the Yamaha SV-255 delivers exceptional versatility, premium craftsmanship, and inspiring musical performance.
