Has excellent 'acoustic-like' sound due to dual piezo pickups and excellent on-board preamp. Includes earbuds and 9-V battery. 16" size only. Includes a FREE Thomastik Dominant Rosin for Violin & Viola (a $12.00 value!)

Detailed Product Description
Yamaha designed the Silent Viola as a highly capable performance and practice instrument. Dual under-bridge piezo pickups and a studio-quality preamp faithfully deliver acoustic tone that's fully tweakable with the onboard EQ system. A repositioned 1/4" output jack drapes the cable behind the player while the lower bout accommodates a standard shoulder rest. The unfinished neck offers the feel of an acoustic instrument and the full 16" scale is easy to play.
