Check out what arrived in the post. Its a Yamaha EV 205, 5 string violin/viola. Strings are E A D G C.
Check out the tuning pegs, no need for finetuners
Count'em, 5 strings. It takes a bit of getting used to, as the strings are bunched slightly closer than usual, you sometimes get some unwanted pizz release from adjacent strings. Jsut need to get some smaller fingers.
The bridge is great, each string has its own pickup, so even with the preamp (onboard) turned off, they are so sensitive it works almost as good, great for if a battery dies during a gig. Unfortunately I only had about 20 mins to play with it yesterday, it works perfectly with the loopstation and it sounds AWESOME through the octave pedal, in fact I might even get some bass gigs out of this!
Ill record something on it tonight and post a video tomorrow, watch this space!
