YSV104
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.
* "SILENT Violin™" and the
poration.
* SRT: Studio Response Technology

Page 11: Tuning And Changing The Strings
Tuning and Changing the Strings Because the bridge includes a built-in pickup, which is connected to the body with a thin cable, the instrument ships from the factory with the bridge laying down. First, set up the bridge and then proceed with tuning. As the strings get old, sound quality will gradually decrease, and it will become difficult to tune the instrument. - Page 12 CAUTION Make sure that the strings are resting in their appropriate grooves in the bridge when play- ing the instrument. Strings may come out of their grooves when adjusting the bridge or changing strings. Since the 1st (E) and 4th (G) strings tend to come out of their grooves more eas- ily, use your fingers to hold those strings gently in place when tuning the instrument.
