Trying out my new Yamaha EV-205 5-string electric violin

[JenniferLindsayMusic]

Have you had a chance to compare the EV to any of the SV models?

@JenniferLindsayMusic I have played an SV 120 I think it was. I think they sound slightly more "acoustic" than the EV. You can use acoustic strings on the EV and run it through an acoustic amp to make it sound more natural if that is your aim. The EV definitely has more power and handles any guitar effects there are. The 5th string is a bonus. It is a bit on the heavy side as well.

Pedal?

[bajsman]

I think he means pedals that goes with guitars that goes with violins as well.

sounds like you're using either a chorus, flanger, or phaser pedal. sounds good, though!

[violindave1979]

yeah, it's a roland cube with a little phase....

[angrygunsmith]

how much do these cost?

[violindave1979]

Look up Yamaha EV-205...they are priced between $1,100-$1,300...On this video, I'm playing through a small practice amp. Doesn't really show the full capabilities of the instrument.

The instrument can be good but it's actually the amp that makes it sound a million dollars, just my two cents

[violindave1979]

You're right. I have yet to really see what it can really do. I need a new amp badly!
