A New Benchmark in Pro Performance
The Yamaha SV-255 Silent Violin Pro is a 5-string electric violin with realistic acoustic tone. Experience natural-sounding resonance, thanks to its hollow chamber, while its dual pickup design captures every nuance of your playing. A streamlined control box puts all the necessary tools at your disposal, including volume, a 2-band EQ, headphone output, line output, and XLR output. And its weight and dimensions assure an easy switchover for traditional violinists. The SV-255 sets a new benchmark in pro performance for electric violin.
Play silently with full-bodied tone
Enter the SV-255 Silent Violin Pro. Its piezo pickup captures the rich resonance of its body, along with vibrato and other nuances. Beyond that, a second bridge pickup picks up string vibrations, ensuring that attack and bowing subtleties are accurately reproduced. A pickup blend control allows you to find the optimal balance between the two pickups.
Easy control and connectivity
The SV-255’s streamlined control box clips to your belt or another convenient location. Use it to tweak your sound with a volume control and 2-band EQ, while you monitor through headphones with independent volume control. The Silent Violin Pro features a line output for sending your signal to an amplifier or effects unit, as well as a balanced XLR output for running straight into a PA or console.
Natural sound and playability
If you play a traditional violin, you’ll enjoy the SV-255. It weighs roughly the same, and its tailpiece, neck, and tuning pegs are identical — you can even use a standard shoulder rest! Its chambered body yields a deep resonance that comes remarkably close to an acoustic violin and provides a familiar, intimate playing feel.
