■Design
・An appearance worthy of a high-end model
Based on the design of the YEV104/YEV105, this instrument has been upgraded with specifications and an appearance worthy of a high-end model. The fingerboard is also a color that stands out on stage.

- A luxurious design befitting a high-end model
The glossy metallic foil sticker creates the luxurious feel you expect from a high-end model.

- Uniformed chin rest color
The chin rest metal on the YEV104/105 was silver, but on the YEV104/105PRO, it's unified in black. Attention to detail in the exterior creates a unified look.

■ Attention to sound
Pursuing the authentic sound and playing feel of an acoustic violin, it maximizes the player's expressiveness on stage.

- Body structure similar to that of an acoustic violin
Like an acoustic violin, the body uses spruce for the top and maple for the back. Slits are made in the sides of the body, creating a hollow body structure like an acoustic violin. This results in a richer sound closer to an acoustic violin and quicker response.

・Improved Bridge Specifications
The bridge's maple wood has been treated with A.R.E. (*1), further improving sound quality and response. Additionally, while the YEV104/105 featured a shielding cover (*2) covering both sides of the bridge, the YEV104/105PRO has removed one side and attached it only to the tailpiece side. Furthermore, by switching to a thinner material, the bridge can move more freely, sensitively capturing changes in the bow's movement and converting them into sound.

(*1) ""A.R.E."" stands for Acoustic Resonance Enhancement, a groundbreaking wood modification technology that matures wood in a short period of time, creating a sound reminiscent of an instrument that has been used for many years.

(*2) A shielding cover is a metal cover that prevents noise generated when the instrument is connected to an amplifier or other device. While the YEV104/105PRO only has a shielding cover on one side, the pickup is shielded internally, so there is no problem with shielding performance.

・Pegs for quick tuning
We use Wittner's highly acclaimed Fine Tune Pegs, which are highly sought after for stage use. The internal gears allow for fine tuning, enabling quick tuning even on stage.

・Lightweight
Weight of approximately 550g (YEV105PRO), the same as
