The Yamaha SV150K Silent Violin begins the third generation of Silent String Instruments, offering players at all levels the most sophisticated features for Silent Practice. With the SV150K Silent Violin, violinists will find an easy transition from the traditional instrument as they discover a multitude of features that will support their playing skills.
The new Yamaha SV-150K Silent Electric Practice Plus Violin takes Silent Practice to an entirely new level with a built-in tuner, metronome and more than 20 processed effects including reverb, distortion and vibrato. An SD card port makes it possible to play along with your favorite recorded music in MP3 format.
Human inventiveness is clearly evident in the design of Yamaha's uniquely sculpted SV150K violin. Lightweight and comfortable, this strikingly stylish violin allows musicians to put on a pair of headphones and enjoy the glorious tone of a concert quality violin in a choice of expansive, simulated performance environments - while creating very little external sound. Yamaha has achieved this technological feat by eliminating the internal amplification cavity, which has been present on traditional acoustic violins.
The new SV-150K is the only violin on the market that can take Silent Practice to a technological level that no other product can match. New on-board features will provide students and professionals with the ultimate instrument for Silent Practice."
