Setup

■ Installing the Bridge

•The lower side of the bridge supports the 1st string (E),

the higher side supports the 4th string (G). Make sure

the bridge is placed properly.

• Make sure that the tailpiece side of the bridge is stand-

ing vertically in relation to the violin’s body. If the

bridge is leaning to one side, loosen the strings and

gently adjust the bridge with both hands. Also, make

sure that each string passes over its corresponding notch

in the bridge.

* Playing the violin with a bridge that leans may re-

sult in damage to the bridge or a deterioration in

sound quality.

■ The Shoulder Rest

Most standard size (4/4) violin rests can be at-

tached to the body of the Electric Violin.

Shoulder rest

■ Tuning

•The strings are tuned to the following pitches. The

1st string is tuned to E, the 2nd string to A, the 3rd

string to D, the 4th string to G and the 5th string to C

(EV-205).

Use a piano, tuning fork, tuner, etc. and adjust the

pitch of each string using the pegs.

• After tuning is complete, make sure that the tailpiece

side of the bridge is still properly aligned. If the bridge

is leaning in either direction, slightly loosen the

strings and carefully re-align the bridge using both

hands.

Natural wood is used for some parts in this instrument. Depending upon the manner in, or

the circumstance under which the instrument is used, your fingers, body or clothes may

become blackened or the wood parts may change color. If your fingers or body become

blackened, it is not harmful but please wash with water thoroughly. The maker takes no

responsibility for any discoloration of clothes or wood parts.

■ Changing Strings

As the strings get old, sound quality will gradually degrade, and the instrument will become

difficult to tune. Change the strings as soon as you think they are getting old.

When changing strings, use Yamaha strings designed especially for the instrument. These

strings are specially designed to eliminate electric noise.

Always change the strings one at a time, even if all strings must be changed.

Attach the string to the tailpiece.

•From above the tailpiece, insert the ball end of

the string into the hole on the tailpiece and hook

the ball end into the notch of the string hole.

• At this time, make sure the string’s ball end

comes in contact with the shielding sheet at-

tached to the underside of the tailpiece.

• The end of the strings are sharp and can cut fingers. Use caution when changing strings.

• When changing or adjusting strings, do not put your face close to the instrument. The string may

suddenly break resulting in eye or other unexpected injuries.

Insert the string into the hole on the peg and wind

the string onto the peg.

•Wind the 1st (E) and 2nd (A) strings to the

left of the hole as shown in the illustration on

the right.

•Wind the 3rd (D), 4th (G) and 5th

to the right.

• The string wrapped two or three

times around the peg makes the

most suitable condition for tuning

the violin. Too many or too few wraps

may result in inaccurate tuning or

noise while playing.

Make sure that the strings do not pull on the

bridge causing it to over toward the fingerboard.

Also, make sure that the strings pass over their

corresponding notch in the top of the bridge.

(Make sure that the tailpiece side of the bridge is

standing vertical in relation to the violin body.)

If the 1st (E) string has a protective tube on it,

slide this tube down onto the thicker, ball end of

the string (wound with thread) so it does not cause

noise and remains out of the way.

Caution

Use a piano, tuning fork, tuner, etc., and adjust

the pitch of each string using the tuning pegs.

Power Supply

The Electric Violin requires power when it is operated in the Controlled Mode, or with a pair of

headphones. Power is supplied by a single 6F22 (S-006P) 9V battery.

Before preparing the power supply, make sure that the Control Section’s LINE OUT and

PHONES jacks are disconnected.

* The Electric Violin operates without power in the Direct Mode.

Bij dit produkt zijn batterijen geleverd.

Wanneer deze leeg zijn, moet u ze niet

weggooien maar inleveren als KCA.

When battery power is depleted, volume will be reduced or the sound will become distorted. In that case,

please take careful note of the following precautions and replace the battery. For information average

battery life, refer to the specifications section on page 15.

•Always follow the +/– signs when inserting the battery. Improper insertion may result in fire.

•To prevent possible damage to the unit due to battery leakage and unnecessary power drain, remove

the battery from the unit when it is not going to be used for an extended period of time.

Open the battery case, located on the backside of the instrument, by pushing on the tab labeled

“OPEN” and lifting open the battery compartment cover.

Connect the supplied 9V battery (6F22:006P) to the battery snap. Take careful note of the polarity

markings (+/-) as shown in the illustration.

Also, insert the battery at an angle and set so that it is positioned under the hook that holds the

battery in place. (Refer to the illustration below.)

* If the battery is inserted with force onto the hook, it may result in damage to the hook, etc.

Place the battery in the battery compartment then close the battery compartment cover.

■ About the Controlled Mode

The instrument can be operated in one of two modes, the Direct (Passive) Mode or Con-

trolled (Active) Mode. Use the Mode Switch q on the Control Section found on the back of

the violin to select the mode.

DIRECT (Passive) Mode

In this mode, the signal produced by the pickup is sent, directly to the LINE OUT jack delivering

the instrument’s straight, unaltered tone.

This mode does not use the preamp therefore battery power is not required (the violin will oper-

ate without a battery).

* However, if headphones are used, battery power is required even in the Direct Mode.

CONTROLLED (Active) Mode

In this mode, the signals produced by each of the strings’ pickups are sent to a built-in mixing

amplifier before being sent to the LINE OUT jack. This mode offers control over the volume

balance between the strings.

Battery power is required in this mode.

* Set the Master Volume u to its minimum level before switching modes. (→See page 13)

● Balancing the volume between the strings (Controlled (Active) Mode)

Remove the battery compartment cover and use the six controllers to balance the volume between the strings.

Rotate the controller to the right (clockwise) to increase the volume, or rotate the controller to the left (counter-

clockwise) to decrease the volume. The controllers default position is shown in the illustration below.

* Controllers 1-5 w correspond to the 1st through 5th strings.

* Control #5 does not operate on the EV-204.

* The MAIN control e is used for adjusting the overall volume after mixing the output of strings 1-5.

2-EV204/205_E/R1 06.4.3, 2:04 PM12

• Before connecting the Electric Violin to any external devices, make sure that the power of all

external devices is turned OFF. Set the volume level of the Electric Violin and any external

audio sources to the minimum level before connecting anything. High volume settings could

cause damage to the equipment and your hearing.

• If a connection cord is unplugged while the power is ON, it may result in damage to the equip-

ment. The sudden shock to your ears may be great, so please use with care.

• Be careful not to step on the cord. The cord may break, equipment may be damaged, and this

may cause a substantial shock to your ears.

•Power is switched on when a plug is connected to one of the jacks. After playing, disconnect

the plugs to save energy.

■ Using Headphones

Connect a pair of headphones, etc. to the PHONES jack (mini jack) r to monitor sound

output. The VOLUME knob t can be used to control the monitor volume.

* The VOLUME t knob’s setting does not effect the output of the LINE OUT jack.

* When a pair of headphones is used in the DIRECT Mode, battery power is required.

* Do not operate the instrument at high volume levels when using earphones (headphones) for any ex-

tended period of time. Doing so can lead to irreparable damage to your hearing.

■ Controlling the Output Volume (Master Volume)

The knob u located on the tailpiece section is the Master Volume, which controls the volume

of the output from the LINE OUT jack y.

Rotate the knob to the right (clockwise) to increase volume, and rotate the knob to the left

(counter-clockwise) to decrease volume. When the knob is fully rotated to the left, its level is

“0” (no sound).

This knob functions in both Direct and Controlled modes.
