Product Information
Features
Appearance worthy of the high-end model
Based on the YEV104/YEV105 design, upgraded to specifications and appearance appropriate for high-end models. The fingerboard is also colored to look good on stage.
Luxurious Design Deserving of the High-End Model
An electroforming tuning fork sticker is used. This glossy sticker gives a luxurious touch deserving of the high-end model.
Unified color of chin rest fittings
For the YEV104/YEV105, the color of the chin rest fittings is silver. For the YEV104PRO/YEV105PRO, however, the color was changed to black to be consistent with the other chin rest parts. Care has been taken down to smallest details to ensure a sense of unity.
Body Structure closer to acoustic violin
Similar to an acoustic violin, the body is made of spruce on the top board and maple on the back board. It also has slits on the side and a hollow inside like an acoustic violin. This structure delivers a richer, more acoustic sound as well as a quicker response.
Improved bridge specifications
The A.R.E. treatment (*1) has been applied to the bridge maple wood to further improve the sound quality and response. The shield cover (*2), which is mounted on both sides of the bridge for the YEV104/YEV105, remains only on the tailpiece side for the YEV104PRO/YEV105PRO. Replacement with a thinner material leaves more freedom for the bridge to move, allowing the bridge to capture delicate changes in bowing and convert them to sound.
(*1) A.R.E. stands for Acoustic Resonance Enhancement, an original wood reforming technology that ages wood in a short period of time to sound like instruments that have been played for years.
(*2) The shield cover is a metal cover that prevents noise generated when the instrument is connected to an amplifier or other device. It is mounted only on one side for the YEV104PRO/YEV105PRO. However, the pickup is shielded inside, so there is no problem with shielding performance.
Pegs with excellent playability
The YEV104PRO/YEV105PRO features highly acclaimed Wittner Finetune Pegs, which are also in high demand for stage use. The internal gears allow precise and quick tuning even on stage.
Lighter weight
The model YEV104PRO weighs about 510 grams, which is the same as an acoustic violin. This is about 50 grams lighter than the YEV104, which makes players feel as if they are playing an acoustic violin.
YEV104PRO/YEV105PRO specific circuit
The circuit was designed for the YEV104PRO/YEV105PRO to match the instrument and its pickup characteristics. This allows the YEV104PRO/YEV105PRO to produce a strong bass sound regardless of the connection to an external device, such as G10, or the ON/OFF of the volume control.
