Yamaha YSV-104 Owner’s Manual
YSV104
Owner’s Manual
Thank you for purchasing a Yamaha SILENT Violin™.
The YSV104 is a new version of the SILENT Violin that incorporates Yamaha’s
exclusive SRT Powered system.
SRT Powered system simulates the natural sound and resonance of an acoustic
violin by using samples that were recorded using high-quality microphones that
were placed in the position of the player’s ears. This gives players a natural
playing experience through headphones, while its solid body design has
reduced the actual sound output.
In order to obtain maximum performance and enjoyment from this instrument,
we urge you to read this Owner’s Manual thoroughly before using the instru-
ment. We recommend that you keep it in a convenient place for future reference.

Handling caution
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury
to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions
include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all
components, set all volume levels to minimum.
• Do not expose to direct sunlight (in a car during the
day), high temperatures such as near a stove, or
extremely low temperatures, and do not expose to
vibrations or dust to prevent damage to the internal
components or disfiguration.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position
where it might accidentally fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent damage to the cables or
injury to anyone who might trip over them.
• To prevent injury to others or property damage, do
not swing or wave the bow when not playing, and
never throw the bow.
• Do not use the instrument for a long period of time
at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this
