The result of innovation, not imitation

About 10 years ago, Yamaha challenged itself to make a high quality, durable student violin. One that could be built with greater precision, while generating less waste material in the process. The result is the YVN Model 3. Using a graduated wood press technique and computer-assisted design, the interior of an antique violin is perfectly replicated. A thin, wood veneer is then pressed into precision-cut spruce to seal and protect the instrument against harsh climates.

Excellent playability and a warm, rich sound

Because the parts are precision-cut to an exact specification for every instrument, the YVN plays consistently and reliably. All of which creates a more positive and engaging experience for beginning students. The YVN also offers a no-hassle rental option and a solid return on investment.
