Yamaha YVN Model 3 Student Violin Outfit with Glasser Bow
Nearly a decade ago, Yamaha challenged itself to manufacture a high quality, durable student violin with greater precision, while generating less waste in the process. At the same time, the violin had to have excellent playability and a warm, rich sound to inspire young musicians. The result of this rethinking process is the YVN family of violins, which break new ground in the manufacture of string instruments for developing players, academic music programs and the rental market.
A proprietary graduated "press-formed" spruce top offers exceptional resonance and the patented three-layer construction of the tops and backs uses just one-third the amount of wood previously consumed. These improvements allow the violins to sing with the rich tone of a graduated carved instrument while maintaining student-proof durability for renters, and all at a family-friendly price for those ready to invest in a quality-starter instrument.
Computer-aided design makes the Model 3 family of violins easier to service than traditional string instruments. Each piece is as precise as the one before it, so repair and replacement are simple tasks, making it both faster and more cost-effective to keep the violin at peak performance — an important consideration in academic music programs.
