Is the price shown inclusive of VAT?

Yes. Every price on Northgate Music Co. includes UK VAT at 20%, and a full VAT invoice is emailed with your dispatch confirmation. There are no import duties or handling fees on UK orders.

Is the instrument shipped ready to play?

The bridge is fitted, the sound post checked and the strings fitted and played in before dispatch, so it arrives ready for a quick tune rather than a workshop visit.

What happens if I don't get on with it?

You have 30 days from delivery to return it for a full refund. We email you a free UK return label, and refunds are processed to your original payment method within 5 working days of the item arriving back with us.

What warranty cover is included?

Two years parts and labour against manufacturing defects, on top of your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Consumables such as strings, reeds, heads and batteries are covered for 90 days.

Organic Beauty and Transcendent Playability

The Yamaha YEV105 offers a sublime combination of organic beauty and transcendent playability. Five layers comprised of maple, mahogany, and spruce yield a gorgeous natural sound, while an oil-finished walnut frame enhances its looks, strength, and resonance. A high-output passive bridge pickup captures every ounce of the YEV105’s natural tone, meticulously reproducing the instrument’s dynamic response and highlighting the subtle nuances of your bowing. The YEV105’s three-dimensional infinity loop-like design not only offers eye-popping visuals, it also supplies a feel that’s guaranteed to appeal to traditional acoustic violinists. Want an electric violin that commands attention? Then get your hands on the Yamaha YEV105 and see what it can do for you.

Unconventional — yet supremely elegant

You’ll love the way the YEV105 looks under stage lights — its unconventional, yet supremely elegant design is hard to take your eyes off of. But don’t let that intimidate you — if you’re a traditional acoustic violinist, the YEV105 will feel instantly familiar. It even accommodates standard shoulder and chin rests and tailpieces!

Built from top-quality woods

The Yamaha YEV105 was built from top-quality woods. Its 5-layer body includes the perfect blend of maple, mahogany, and spruce, exhibiting excellent response and a natural overall sound. Its oil-finished walnut frame offers striking looks while enhancing the instrument’s natural musical resonance. At Irvine Art & Music, we appreciate the look and sound of the YEV105 — it’s a top-shelf instrument.

High-caliber electronics for a gorgeous, natural sound

Plug in the YEV105, and you’ll be greeted with a gorgeous natural sound. Its high-output passive bridge pickup picks up the tone and resonance of the entire instrument while capturing its acoustic response and communicating your expressive bowing nuances. A selector switch allows you to toggle between the direct output of the YEV105’s pickup signal or output via the instrument’s volume control. Direct output unlocks the YEV105’s full sonic potential, exhibiting rich lows and a punchy impact.
