Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: hobbyist (10 years)

Reviewer's Play Style: experimental/jazz/rock/electronic

The design is great, chin rests and shoulder rests can be exchanged between the Yamaha and other vioins. The SV-200 weighs and feels like a real violin. It plays as well as any intermediate/student violin. Going back and forth between my acoustic and the electric doesn't cause any discomfort. The redesign of the Yamaha electric allows for better play on stage but doesn't justify the huge price difference from the older model. I'm not impressed with the sound through the headphones but through an amp it's comparable to an acoustic with a transducer with less feedback. The volume without any headphones/speakers is loud enough for practice. It shipped with a loose screw on the battery access and played with an annoying vibration until I discovered which screw was loose and tightened it. This violin will take a beating as I've dropped it and only lost my chin rest when the case failed to protect it.
