The Yamaha SV-130 Violin provides violinists of all levels with the ability to practice confidently without disturbing others. Though the acoustic sound produced is barely a whisper, you will hear yourself in the rich, virtual environment of a resonant concert hall. The SV-130 allows players of any level to play or practice anytime. Building upon the great success of it's predecessor, the SV-120, the new SV-130 Silent Violin enables players of all levels to practice silently, anyplace and at anytime. With the inclusion of a 1/4 inch output jack, this instrument can be played through any standard amplifier, and the violin's improved circuitry produces higher quality sound while reducing noise output. The SV-130 may also be used along with an MP3 or CD player through the aux-in jack, useful for practice or just to play along with your favorite tunes. The beautiful silent violin screams Yamaha quality!
