User questions & answers

Question:	what is the "hook" like thing coming out of the neck of the instrument
Answer:	That is part of the wood base design. It is not a hook and is more subtle in actuality. No problems in the performance or use of the instrument.
Question:	Does it come with assembled and ready to play
Answer:	We set up and test all of our instruments in our shop, so if the YEV violin is ordered through our seller store on Amazon, our luthier will stand up the bridge, shape it as needed, and perform a standard instrument setup (includes testing the electronics) before it ships out.
Question:	is this a 5 string or 4 string violin
Answer:	The YEV104 NT is the 4-string version; the YEV105 NT is the 5-string version (natural).
Question:	Dose this come with a bow
Answer:	Hi, the Yamaha YEV104 NT at this price does not include a bow or case, but does include the violin, strings, and a structured cardboard box.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come with the fine tuners as shown in the picture
Answer:	Yes, and Electric Violin Shop also provides a full setup of the violin for free.
Question:	Will this fit in a regular violin case and will a shoulder rest fit on it
Answer:	Yes it will fit in a regular 4x4 violin case. Yes, you can use pretty much any normal shoulder rest and chin rest on this instrument. I love mine!
Question:	Where can I buy a set of all five violin strings incase I need a new set? I tried browsing but couldn't find all five as a set, only four
Answer:	Hi Arnold, the YEV105NT actually comes with a Zyex 4 string composite violin set and a Helicore violin C string, since Zyex doesn't make a violin length C string. However, you can use any violin strings on this instrument (we'd recommend a true violin C string if possible -- Sensicore, Helicore, and NS electrics all make a violin C).
Question:	The fifth string is on the low end I assume, making this kind of a violin/viola combo
Answer:	Yes, the fifth string is a C, so it covers the pitches CGDAE. The scale length, however, is that of a violin rather than a viola, so it will feel familiar to play if you're a violinist.

User questions & answers

Question:	Could you please provide the size of the package/box and confirm the final weight of it
Answer:	Raul, we ship the Yamaha SV-200 in a shipping box that is about 5 pounds and 28 X 12 X 6 inches. We do offer free shipping on instruments with UPS Ground in the continental US.
Question:	Does it include the control box
Answer:	The Yamaha SV-200 does not include a control box. You may be thinking of the SV-150 or SV-250/255.
Question:	Does this violin include the control box (the one that lets you control reverb, etc
Answer:	Hi, the Yamaha SV-200 does not include a control box. You may be thinking of the SV-150, which has a control box / effects unit including reverb, or the SV-250, which has a control box that serves as a preamp with additional EQ control (no reverb or effects, though). The SV-200 is designed to be convenient, with the preamp and basic EQ control built in to the violin. We find that many electric violinists use their amplification and / or preamps and effects to add reverb when performing. On the SV-150, the control box is a convenient feature for practicing.
Question:	Is it coming with the case / do we need to buy the case? Are there any additional strings coming with it
Answer:	This item is the instrument alone. It comes with strings, but no other accessories besides the built-in shoulder rest. Yamaha packages the instrument in a sturdy, shipping-ready cardboard box, which keeps the instrument safe but is not a permanent case. Soft gig bags are sold separately, as well as outfits which include a bow and a case along with the instrument.

Product description

YSV104 Electric Violin Black. The YSV104 employs the Yamaha SRT Powered system that has been a success in Silent Guitar models. Although the solid-body Silent Violin does not have a resonant chamber, SRT Powered simulates the natural response, body resonance, and sound that the player would experience with an acoustic instrument. Bridge, chin rest, tailpiece, neck, and other parts that affect playing posture and feel are in the same positions as on an acoustic violin and frame designed to allow attachment of standard bridge type shoulder rests. In addition to a headphone jack and supplied earphone for private practice, the YSV104 has a AUX IN jack that can be directly connected to an external audio player or other source for play-along practice. DSP processing ROOM: A combination of clear tone and short reverb that is ideal for practice. HALL: Soft tone with medium reverb that can enhance playing enjoyment.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you plug this into a computer to record/mix with software
Answer:	We returned it to Amazon. Didn't like it.

Answer:	I would suggest looking for left-hand specifically if you play left handed. I am left-handed, but I play right handed.

Answer:	it has a life time warranty
Question:	This may be a dumb question... but are you able to play with the headphones on so that only you can hear while practicing

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you plug the headphones directly into it or plug it into an amp and the headphones out of the amp
Answer:	You can plug your headphones directly into it.
Question:	Can you attach shoulder straps to the case or does the case come with straps
Answer:	There were straps on the case already attached but I never loosened them because the violin was cracked.
Question:	Hi, I'm really interested in this product, but will the strings of the violin be tuned
Answer:	Hello Firas A. I saw your question about the violin strings, and I did a ton of research on this before I got it, so I'm to help another person do the same. I got this thing earlier this year, being a newbie at the violin thing, so I'm not an expert critic on the product. However, when I received mine, my strings were installed, but not in tune. The bridge had also fallen over (the light-wood thing that holds the strings up), but that was easy to re-erect. I found a free violin tuner app for my phone, and used that to tune my violin. The strings aren't the greatest quality, but they will work until you can get them replaced with a set of good ones. Over all, the whole deal wasn't bad. Just be sure to buy a shoulder rest....
Question:	Someone told me that this violin does not come with strings when you buy it, is that true
Answer:	This violin comes with all the strings. I am very satisfied with the purchase as I play every week for my church and since I'm the only stringed instrument I need to be heard!

Cecilio Electric Violin

Whether you're practicing, recording in studio or performing on stage, the Cecilio electric violin outfit offers excellent functionality and style. It provides violinists of all levels with the ability to practice confidently without disturbing others. The outfit features a 1/8 output jack that allows you to connect to most guitar amps or PA systems (1/4 to 1/8 cable included), volume control that allow you to choose the ambience you want, headphone jack for practice and a line-in jack for practice with a background track. This violin package includes a well-padded lightweight hard case, a bow, rosin, bridge, pickup, aux cable, and headphones. Great for Student, Intermediate and Professional Violinist.

How to choose violin sizes

Violins are available in 8 different sizes: 4/4 (also called full size), 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/10, 1/16 and 1/32. Size 4/4 is the biggest and size 1/32 is the smallest. All adults, regardless of their size, use the size 4/4 violin.

To measure what size violin best suits you, you need to know the length between your neck and the middle of your left-hand palm (when your hand is fully extended and raised perpendicular to your body, just like holding a violin). Most of the teachers prefer students to use the length from the neck to the wrist for measurement instead of the neck to mid-palm approach. The violin size determined by the neck/wrist approach would be the size that is more comfortable for students to hold. The violin size determined by the neck/mid-palm approach would be the biggest size students should use. The following table lists the length of each violin size. Find your length using your preferred approach and use that to determine the size of violin to get.

If you have a teacher, you should ask for your teacher's recommendation. If you don't have a teacher, we would recommend using the neck/wrist approach for students not using full size; for students who are deciding whether to used size 3/4 or size 4/4, use the neck/mid-palm approach. This is because it is always better those students feeling comfortable holding and playing the violin. However, while deciding between size 3/4 and size 4/4, if neck/mid-palm approach allows for size 4/4, then buying a size 4/4 is more economical since you don't have to buy another bigger size violin later. This is completely based on economical consideration. You should still decide what best suits your need.

User questions & answers

Question:	can you plug it into a amp because the images do not show a jack
Answer:	Yes. There are 3 sockets on the back of violin. One is "Line out" (for amp). One is "Mic" and one is "Phones". The Included cord for the amp is a little over 9 feet and is decent quality. There is no static backround noise and my violin comes in clear. *In the stock photo the amp cable is to the right of the headphones.
Question:	How can I plug it to my laptop? There is a chord but it doesn't fit the computer outlet
Answer:	It has a quarter inch plug, look for either an A to D connector, or (more easily a rocksmith cable) a USB interface. Electric instruments are almost all the same you'll never have the same sound as an acoustic. But it will give you a unique and interesting sound. Especially at this price point.
Question:	how quiet is it? I would be practicing during my toddlers nap time and need it to be very very quiet/silent with out an amp or head phones
Answer:	I get about 81 dB playing open strings. It’s not so quiet.
Question:	Does the kit come with strings attached or must you string them yourself
Answer:	The strings come attached. In fact, as soon as my violin came in, I took it to my local music store (who strung my acoustic violin) to have him check it out to see if the violin and strings are of good quality. He thought is was decent quality. I couldn't be happier with it, especially for the price. When you first get it, you will have to re-tune the strings every 10 minutes or so while you are playing, but after about a week of re-tuning (and it does need tuning less frequently with time) you are good to go. It doesn't hold a tune as well as my acoustic...I tune it before I begin playing usually, but it does hold well and the sound is fantastic. You can play it through an amp or into headphones and I think the sound quality is awesome. Hope this helps. :)

User questions & answers

Question:	does it includles a shoulder rest and headphones
Answer:	It does not. What it does include is a metal blade onto which any 4/4 sized shoulder rest will fit. I say "€œblade"€ because if your style is to play without a shoulder rest, it's a bit uncomfortable. You'll need at least a handkerchief or something like you would use with your fine wooden violin to dull the edge against your collarbone. But my Kuhn and my Bonmusica shoulder rests fit it tightly and comfortably.With regards to the headphones, any headphones will plug into the pre-amp. I suggest in-ear monitors, as over-the-heads will often press against the violin body and change the sound. (Of course, this means the alternative is getting really big over-the-head headphones and not plugging them in at all, which will also work ;-) ) I do NOT suggest earbuds! (Use the ones that go in your ear canal with a little silicon bulb, not the ones like the Apple ones that just sit inside your ear.)I find the sound from the headphone pre-amp a little grating anyway. I prefer to use a little headphone amp like the one I have from Electro-Harmonics to boost the output from the 1/4" jack when I'm practicing.
Question:	can i run this through my LR Baggs preamp
Answer:	You absolutely can, but the included Yamaha preamp must always be used with this instrument. If you want to use an additional preamp or effects you can, but the Yamaha preamp needs to go first in your chain.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many 110 v or
Answer:	110
Question:	Can the violin be hooked up to an amp that distorts the sound
Answer:	I don't see why not, but - other than experimentation with feedback - (and assuming you define "distorted sound" as something desirable and intentional) I lack experience in this area.
Question:	does the bridge stay in place, does it stay tuned
Answer:	Bridge is secure, but tuning pegs are often hard to keep in place.
Question:	I am considering getting this for my daughter but can someone tell me if this is quieter than an acoustic violin with the headphones plugged in
Answer:	It is quieter when headphones are in. Quieter than using a mute when practicing.

User questions & answers

Question:	Are a bow and shoulder rest included in this product? Or only the violin itself included
Answer:	Only the violin.
Question:	What kind of amp would be good to use with the YSV-250 violin
Answer:	I use a cube street amp from Roland. It works pretty well. The only thing is that you might have to turn the Gain setting up all the way on the amp itself (this amplifies the signal coming from the instrument). The pre-amp that comes with the 250 is actually kind of weak.
Question:	Can both the headphone output and amp/pa output be used at the same time? such as sometimes on station i cannot hear myself clearly through feedback
Answer:	Yes, the headphone jack on the SV-250's control box/preamp does not defeat the output to the amp or PA, so you can use the headphone jack as an in-ear monitor while performing.
Question:	I see in the reviews below you need to plug the original amp in. Does this apply to headphones? Can you plug headphones in the violin
Answer:	No, you need the amp module

Question:	My daughter was trying to tune her violin (she's twelve and just starting out) and the bridge fell off. Is it difficult to put back on
Answer:	If you're unsure of how to place the bridge back on, take it to a music shop and they will assist you, music and arts centers will assist you in the store, I've done plenty of those at no cost when I used to work there. There is a certain direction and placing the bridge must sit to be able to sit properly, please seek a professional for instrument care.
Question:	what bridge does this come with
Answer:	This product comes with two bridges that are made by the manufacture. No name on the bridges. I bought this product and it is an amazing deal for the quality and tone of the instrument! I suggest buying new strings, the ones that come in this set are cheap and dull sounding! Dominant Strings are suggested by this professional of 20 years!
Question:	Does the actual violin that will ship look anything like this
Answer:	hi Kyle D...no, I thought the violin would look like the picture because the wood looks rich and the violin strings looks like it would have a deep sound to it. However, if you haven't bought the violin yet..good.. I would spend a little more money on a good violin that would last you a long time..my mendini is still in the box oh and the strings on the violin are cheap..thank you for asking I hoped I help :) Deanne allen

How to choose violin sizes

Violins are available in 8 different sizes: 4/4 (also called full size), 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/10, 1/16 and 1/32. Size 4/4 is the biggest and size 1/32 is the smallest. All adults, regardless of their size, use the size 4/4 violin.

To measure what size violin best suits you, you need to know the length between your neck and the middle of your left-hand palm (when your hand is fully extended and raised perpendicular to your body, just like holding a violin). Most of the teachers prefer students to use the length from the neck to the wrist for measurement instead of the neck to mid-palm approach. The violin size determined by the neck/wrist approach would be the size that is more comfortable for students to hold. The violin size determined by the neck/mid-palm approach would be the biggest size students should use. The following table lists the length of each violin size. Find your length using your preferred approach and use that to determine the size of violin to get.

If you have a teacher, you should ask for your teacher's recommendation. If you don't have a teacher, we would recommend using the neck/wrist approach for students not using full size; for students who are deciding whether to used size 3/4 or size 4/4, use the neck/mid-palm approach. This is because it is always better those students feeling comfortable holding and playing the violin. However, while deciding between size 3/4 and size 4/4, if neck/mid-palm approach allows for size 4/4, then buying a size 4/4 is more economical since you don't have to buy another bigger size violin later. This is completely based on economical consideration. You should still decide what best suits your need.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you play songs like acdc with this guitar
Answer:	Yes, the guitarists in acdc play guitars with humbucker pickups, like the Pacifica has in the bridge position. Do yourself a favor and try out the model in person before you buy, you need to make sure it's good for your play style and you like the look of it!
Question:	Amazon lists the dimensions as 18 x 43 x 4.5 inches
Answer:	I have a model PAC112V (not 'J'). It's dimensions are: Lower Bout 13" ; Upper Bout 10 3/4" ; Body Length To Long Horn 18" ; Body Length to Short Horn 14 1/2" ; Length From Top of Head Stock to Bottom of Guitar 38"; Depth From Back of Guitar to Top Of Knobs and Switch 3". These dimensions are just for the guitar excluding any packing. I'm guessing the PAC112V has the same dimensions as the PAC112J, but I'm not sure. You'll have to confirm that on the Yamaha website.
Question:	what is the nut width on this guitar
Answer:	41.0 mm top of neck and 51.4 at the bottom of neck.
Question:	Does the black 112J have a black or white pickguard
Answer:	Mine (Lake Blue finish) came with a white pickguard. But there are plenty of inexpensive (if you poke around enough) alternatives if you want to customize yours.
