The YSV104 Silent Violin returns to the original Silent Violin concept, a practice instrument that offers an ideal blend of features and playability for violin players. Even without a resonant body, the Studio Response Technology (SRT) Powered system faithfully reproduces the body resonance, sound, and ambience of an acoustic violin. The YSV104 is an excellent choice for all players who want to practice quietly with an acoustic violin tone.

Although the YSV104 is a solid-body instrument that does not resonate like an acoustic violin, the SRT Powered system faithfully reproduces the rich presence and tonal variety that are appealing characteristics of acoustic violin sound. Left and right channel volume, frequency response, and delay have been carefully optimised so that the performer can play while hearing a realistic acoustic tone and resonance via the earphones.

The layout of the bridge, tailpiece, neck, and other parts is the same as an acoustic violin, and the ability to use standard off-the-shelf Bridge-type shoulder rests facilitates a smooth, stress-free transition from acoustic violin to the Silent Violin and back. Proper bow angle and finger placement give beginners a solid foundation to grow from.

Two reverb modes provide ambience optimised for practice and playing enjoyment. "Room" provides a realistic room ambience ideal for practice, while "Hall" simulates the deep, rich reverb of a concert hall for pure playing enjoyment. An external audio source can be connected to the control box for play-along practice.
