I've had it for about 2 or so years now and I've never really played it. There's nothing wrong with it and it plays perfectly fine. I would much rather see this instrument being used by someone else who actually needs one. You are more than welcome to contact me and ask me any questions you have about the instrument. If you want a get a good idea of how the instrument feels and plays, just head out to your local music store and try one out there. That's the best way! Here's what you get: Yamaha 5 String Electric Violin (comes with helicore strings and ready to go!) - originally $1,200 Case - originally $80 Monster Cable - $15-20 or so Battery (for practicing) Here's more information. I got this from www.electricviolinshop.com: The first truly stage-worthy electric Yamaha 5 string violin! Separate piezo bridge pickups for each string and an improved preamp powered by a nine volt battery give a much stronger signal and truer tone than the SV-120. Inside the battery compartment is a volume knob for each string. This allows you to set the volume of each string individually – you can turn down the E string if it is bothering you, or boost the C string! Another knob lets you raise or lower the output of the preamp. Combined with the volume control on the tailpiece, you can finely tailor your output to get the best sound from your amplifier. A unique feature of the Yamaha EV205 is the ability to bypass the preamp and all its settings. This is handy if your battery should die in the middle of a performance (which has happened to me!) – you just slide a switch, and you keep on playing! The Yamaha EV 5 string violin has a headphone jack, and all wood construction. The bridge sits on an arched piece of wood to simulate the body resonance of an acoustic violin. Use your own shoulder pad for familiar support and comfort - even the chinrest can be replaced with your favorite. Compares favorably with more expensive electric violins! Colors: Amber is a traditional translucent violin color, showing the grain of the wood. Red is a pearlescent (not fire engine) red, still somewhat translucent. Blue is a harlequin color-change paint (not showing the wood grain). It shifts from deep blue to a shimmering dark purple as your angle to the violin changes – subtle but fun! Use your normal violin case, or select a case from the options, below. Carefully set up here for your immediate enjoyment. weight 1 pound, 10 ounces Cheers, Armand Place a Bid!
