The YEV105 Pro DR is a seriously refined electric violin. Yamaha's made a big leap in comfort and acoustic projection here; it’s surprisingly warm for a piezo.

Frequently Asked Questions
The ARE treatment adds a noticeable warmth and complexity to the tone, mimicking the aging process of acoustic instruments, making it more responsive and pleasing.
The Helicore C string is designed for comfortable playability, but it does require a slightly adjusted bowing technique to manage its lower register effectively.
A decent acoustic instrument amplifier or a full-range PA system will do the trick; avoid bass-heavy amps as they’ll muddy the sound.
