Solid Body Design
The Electric Violin's body is a one-piece design crafted from a block of solid Maple. Just as on an electric guitar this design offers a stable yet resonant body which contributes to the powerful sound of the violin. The soundboard is a single piece of Maple extending from the neck down to the chin rest. With the bridge resting on the soundboard it simulates the top of an acoustic violin causing soundboard and body to resonate adding just the right amount of warmth to the tone.
Advanced Pickup System
The pickup system consists of individual sensors for each string, mounted in a specially designed bridge. Each sensor is housed inside a pendulum upon which the string rests at the bridge. This system creates an extremely large signal – so large in fact that it needs no preamp to boost its output level. You can plug directly into a guitar amplifier and get a broad and powerful electric tone straight away.
Available in Red, Blue, and Natural finishes.

Yamaha craftsmen have designed the SV200 to have a natural feel, closer to that of an acoustic violin. The oval shaped neck features a thin layer of a specially formulated finish that feels identical to that of an acoustic violin. The frame has been extended further past the chin rest to accommodate nearly any standard chin and/or shoulder rest. The Line Out jack is positioned so the cord can be draped over the performer's shoulder keeping it out of the way during performance. EQ ControlThe SV200 utilizes a specially designed circuit that isolates and controls the instrument's upper harmonics, which have a great influence on the overall tone and sound produced by the violin. This capability to modify the tonal color harder or softer provides the SV200 with great flexibility in adjusting to individual playing styles, room conditions, the PA system, etc. Plus it gives a tone that is much closer to that of an acoustic violin. Dual PickupsThe SV200 uses a two pickup configuration which doubles the resolution for a much greater dynamic range. Pickups are mounted under the two legs of the bridge, and this improved resolution allows the violin to responds to very subtle nuances enabling the performer to play from pianissimo to fortissimo with great clarity and ease.
