Bought an SV200 back in 2014 from this shop. Was headed to austere location and wanted to be able to practice without worrying about cold/wet/hot weather and disturbing my bunk mates. Their customer service and set up were terrific - played very nice out of the box and the instrument has been a joy.
We have had a Starfish violin in our shop before but we do not have one available now. It is more of a custom-made violin and not a lot of them are produced. You could contact Starfish Designs directly to order one: starfishdesigns.co.uk/contact-us/
Hi, See you mention not using the Yamahas with a Line6 G10 . I've got a EV-204 and uses the G10 al the time. I've never had any problems. Never more than 3 meters away from the recepter though...
We're really just talking about the SV-200 here, which has a different circuitry than the EV series. Are you able to use your G10 without interference in both active and direct modes on the EV-204?
Cool videos man!. Also , I wonder if you can help me resolve this question : I bought a cheap 150 dlls 6 strings fretted violin (yinfente brand) and The problem is that the strings sound in tune when I play them in the air , but , as soon I play a fret in the A or D string , the pitch is out of tune. I change the strings and still the same . So , what it can be ?? Probably the violin would be bad made it ? . Thanks .
If it's out of tunes on the first few frets, if they sound sharp, it could be a problem with the nut placement, that is, the space between the nut and the first fret is too wide. Cheap electric guitars and electric mandolins often have this problem. The solution is to move the nut forward a mm or two. My mandobird (real cheapness!) fretted sharp in the first position and absolutely drove me insane, until I did said modification. Now it is stageworthy and I get lots of comments cuz it looks so cool. Another problem with 5 and 6 strings tuned in 5ths, you can't tune real fifths, but must use a tuner to temper them, so they are not sharp or flat at the extremities. But they don't sound right when bowed. My advice? Go fretless!
From Argentina. Your tube seems great to me, I always wait for the translator to come out in Spanish, in order to better understand the explanations. My question is; 6-string or 7-string violin, how the string set is assembled, here it is said that the C of viola is added and then the ones that follow cello. How is it really?
Hi, i am thinking to buy the bridge aquila 4 string violin in you shop. But it gets me a little nervous the little coin battery. How many life has a battery of that size in an electric violin? Thanks
Cool! The 3 volt coin cell battery keeps the weight of the instrument down, can provide up to approximately 3000 hours playing time, and only drains whilst the jack is connected.
Hey amigo, I bought a Ted Brewer Vivo2 from your shop about 10 year ago. Any reason why you don't sell these anymore? I don't hear about Ted Brewer Violins much these days?
Hi there! We carry instruments that we feel we can stand behind, and we frequently evaluate and re-evaluate different electric violins to insure that we are able to recommend and support the products. If you want to shoot us an email at info@electricviolinshop.com, we can follow up with more information. Best, Susie
It's possible. You'd have to bypass the Yamaha preamp though and wire the Barbera directly to the output jack, which would negate the Silent practice function. Doing so would also nullify your Yamaha warranty.
Hi, I am a classical violinist and I want to play my acoustic violin with some reverbs distortion and effects using pedals etc, so I am wondering if I really need an electric violin at all? I know I can use acoustic violin with pick up and amp and pedals to achieve some distortions etc, any how tell me 3 reasons why I would need an electric/ silent violin ? I understand visual aspect, it looks nicer. What else? Thanks a lot
Dimitri, the single biggest reason you may need an electric violin is that you are wanting to use distortion. Acoustic violins with pickups and even dedicated acoustic-electric violins are extremely prone to feedback when used with high-gain effects, like distortion and overdrive. They are also prone to feedback in high volume situations, so if you're planning on playing with a band, that can be an issue. It *is* possible to control the feedback in this circumstances, but it can be extremely difficult, depending on the quality of the acoustic violin you're using, the size of the room you're playing in, and what your monitoring situation is. Pure electric instruments, on the other hand, are almost completely immune to feedback problems.
So, you *can* use a pickup on your acoustic to do signal processing (reverb, distortion, etc.) but there are a lot of situations in which this would not be a great idea. If you just want to dive into signal processing for fun and experimentation then starting with a pickup is a great, cost effective way to do so. For more advanced performance and/or recording applications we'll always recommend a solid body, particularly for use with distortion effects. We recommend you watch this video--ua-cam.com/video/k7XhhWsidOw-/v-deo.html-for a rundown of the four ways to amplify and the pros and cons of each. To summarize, feedback and acoustic sound bleed are the two major reasons not to use distortion with an acoustic instrument. High gain effects can easily produce feedback and if you are able to avoid it it's probably because you are taking greater pains than are practical in order to avoid it, or you're playing at very low volume, in which case, what's the point? :) As for acoustic sound bleed...imagine you're playing a live show with an acoustic violin, pickup and effects. Well, if you're in a smaller venue and up close to your audience, they're going to hear your acoustic violin tone on top of whatever effected tone is coming out of the amp. Unless that's the intended effect then it won't really sound right. Same with the recording studio. You won't be able to mic the sound source (amp) without probably getting some of your acoustic sound bleeding into the mic, unless you have a very sophisticated, highly directional microphone and sound shields. You can of course record the direct signal from the pickup into a DAW, but the result is less real or pleasing than capturing the ambience of a room from an amp speaker and the characteristic tone of a good amp cabinet. Hopefully this makes sense. This is not to discourage anyone from trying a pickup with effects--on the contrary, we think that is a great starting point for any classical player trying to dip their toe into the electric world. Just go into it understanding the limitations and you won't be disappointed. Then, when you are ready to pursue stage or studio applications you may consider investing in a solid body instrument.
@@ElectricViolinShop Dear Friend, Yes it makes total sense of sound bleed and feedback issues. I have not yet done much work with a pick up and effects just saw a video from reverb site where girl was demonstrating here acoustics violin and roland Ac60 and effects. But anyhow, Thank you for your help;. I try watching the link provided and make sense/ Keep up with the hard work.

Hey Matt, I'm thinking about getting a Yamaha YEV-104 or 105. I have 2 questions: 1: the YEV is a passive violin, isn't it? Do I have any disadvantages with a passive instrument? I overheared some guys talking about it and they strongly recommended active violins. Now I'm hesitant to buy the YEV even though it has so good ratings. 2: 4 or 5 strings? I'm playing violin for about 15 years, but never tried a 5 string. Is it easy to pick up? Would you recommend giving 5 strings a try? Ty. Love your videos! Keep up the good work!
Koyaanis Qatsi the YEV is a great instrument! Now the advantage of having a passive violin is you don’t have to worry about changing the battery, and the cons on having a passive violin is that you need to have a amp to listen with headphones! But besides that theirs not really a difference besides the passive and weight! And a five string violin takes about a week to get used to!
We don't have any V-Jazz violins but we do carry the current Earphonic model, and have a handful in stock to choose from here: www.electricviolinshop.com/violins/violins-by-brand/cantini.html

whats a g10? can i connect my sony xm4s bluetooth?
You can't use bluetooth for live music. Too much latency.
Hello, thank's for all information, I'm yamaha fan, so im Pro violinist and after my sv104 im searching some Best of Yamaha, wich 1 you Will suggest?
The SV250 is always a good choice.
What is the best you think
i cant find a white one !!
Its possible to conect a barbera pick up on a yamaha active violin ?
It's possible. You'd have to bypass the Yamaha preamp though and wire the Barbera directly to the output jack, which would negate the Silent practice function. Doing so would also nullify your Yamaha warranty.
Question about the Bridge Lyra; if I wanted to use it for silent practice, does putting a mute on it make a difference at all?
Yes. It'll silence it quite a bit.
