Thank you for purchasing a Yamaha SILENT Violin™.
The YSV104 is a new version of the SILENT Violin that incorporates Yamaha’s
exclusive SRT Powered system.
SRT Powered system simulates the natural sound and resonance of an acoustic
violin by using samples that were recorded using high-quality microphones that
were placed in the position of the player’s ears. This gives players a natural
playing experience through headphones, while its solid body design has
reduced the actual sound output.
In order to obtain maximum performance and enjoyment from this instrument,
we urge you to read this Owner’s Manual thoroughly before using the instru-
ment. We recommend that you keep it in a convenient place for future reference.
