V5SC: Eye for detail

Like most violins, the Yamaha V5SC is built from a spruce top with maple sides and back. As a result, you can count on a clear basic sound with excellent projection and dynamics. Where Yamaha differentiates itself from the competition is the specially developed oil varnish used to give the violin a stylish sheen. In fact, this thin varnish layer contributes to fast response and clear articulation.

High-quality parts

This Yamaha V5SC is basically the same as the V5SA, but with one important difference. Namely, this model features the Wittner "Ultra" tailpiece with four fine tuners. The tailpiece affects sound transmission and tuning consistency. As you might expect from a violin in this price range, the tuning keys and chinrest are made of ebony. The fingerboard is also ebony, so you can count on a smooth playing experience. The Yamaha V5CA comes with D'Addario Prelude strings as standard.

• Note: This 4/4-sized violin is suitable for children from about 11 years old and adults with an arm length from 58.5 centimetres.
