Reads string vibration directly. Immune to stage feedback, but the raw signal is bright and benefits from EQ.

YamahaSV-200 Performance Silent Violin - Black
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Yamaha's electric silent violin with a piezo pickup, in black. For players who need to practice quietly or plug into a stage rig.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Apartment practice through headphones without disturbing neighbors
- Amplified stage work where an acoustic violin feeds back
- Late-night practice on a normal acoustic playing schedule
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Classical players wanting acoustic tone for chamber or orchestral work
- Absolute beginners — no teacher, no tone reference to develop on
- Anyone who needs audible sound without an amp or headphones
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Silent body design
Almost no acoustic volume unplugged. You hear it through headphones or an amp, not the room.
Detail 03
Performance-tier SV-200
Built for stage use, not just practice, so the output and playing feel are closer to a real instrument.
Detail 04
Black finish
Cosmetic only. Shows rosin dust and fingerprints more than lighter finishes.
Detail 05
Full-size electric violin
Standard string length and fingering, so technique transfers directly to and from an acoustic violin.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Needs headphones or an amp to hear anything — budget for that
- 02Check what cable, bow, and case ship with it before ordering
- 03Balances differently than an acoustic; the shoulder rest setup usually needs adjusting
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I practice with headphones?
Yes, that is the main use. The instrument produces almost no acoustic sound, so all your monitoring happens through headphones.
02Does it sound like an acoustic violin?
No. A piezo pickup gives a bright, direct signal without an acoustic body's resonance. Many players shape it with EQ or reverb.
03Will it work for orchestra?
Not for traditional orchestral playing, where acoustic tone and blend are the point. It suits amplified, contemporary, or electric settings.
04Is it good for a beginner?
It works technically, but beginners benefit from hearing an acoustic instrument to build tone and intonation. Better as a second violin for quiet practice.
