Key Features
Product Ref: 334392
Going electric brings a lot of benefits. Practise silently and get your playing polished for an audience. The electrical components in this viola have been optimised for performance on stage or in the studio. In these settings, sound quality is crucial. With noise-free circuitry and line out impedance, your viola sounds flawless with professional audio equipment. Add to this the ability to change your tonal colour and you have the perfect professional instrument. With a special circuit designed by Yamaha, the silent viola's upper harmonics are controlled, which has an effect on the tonal colour of the whole instrument, so wherever you are performing you can create the right ambience. You can adjust to your playing style, room conditions, or the P.A. system. Have the ideal sound for every situation.
Mix tradition in with your electric viola. With an all-wood frame, you will feel at home with this instrument right away. It will fit nearly any chin or shoulder rest, so you can play with the same accessories you are used to and trust your instrument in your hand. Ebony is the classic choice for a fingerboard. The tight grain of this wood gives it a fast-playing quality under your fingers because it requires no varnish. The special black matte finish is a stunning contrast to this tradition. It adds a modernist and effortlessly chic appearance to your instrument, which will look incredible as part of a modern ensemble.
