Introducing the Yamaha SVV-200 silent viola
A unique blend of tradition and technology, the SVV-200 combines all the advantages of an electric instrument, but with the feel and playability of an acoustic, and its silent characteristics mean you can play anytime, anywhere.
Top quality electronics
The silent viola’s standard 16” scale and full-sized frame design make violinists feel comfortable from the start. While providing a more natural feel, its all-wood frame is finished with a special black matte finish and can accommodate nearly any standard chin and shoulder rest.
EQ control
A special circuit designed by Yamaha isolates and controls the instrument’s upper harmonics, which have a great influence on the overall tone. Modifying the tonal colour makes it possible to adjust to invidual playing styles, room conditions, the PA system, etc.
Quartets
Yamaha's Silent Viola blends effortlessly with Silent Violins & Silent Cello in a traditional quartet. Traditional only in form – you can play anything, anywhere at any volume!
