The Perfect Blend of Cutting Edge Technologies and Traditional Master Craftsmanship Creating an Original Masterpiece. The utilization of new tools often leads to new discoveries. Using the latest in digital technologies, historic instruments made by the masters Guarneri del Gesu and Antonio Stradivari were carefully measured and extensively analyzed. Through this time consuming process, Yamaha uncovered intricacies that had been kept secret in these instruments for over 300 years. This data would prove priceless in creating the blueprints that would be used to produce Yamaha original masterpieces. Turning the Data Into Reality. From this data, cutting edge three-dimensional CAD modeling technology was utilized to create ideal virtual designs of the real things. And then, from these designs, individual parts were produced using advanced numerical control processing—accurate to within 50 microns. Such skillful use of advanced technologies in the analysis, design, and initial production stages of these instruments has contributed greatly to their uniform quality and exceptional level of cost performance. Bringing Each Piece to Life It is at this point that the artisan’s highly refined skills can be applied to bring out the full potential in character and tone from the woods, thus creating aviolin of superior quality and character. Top, back, sides, neck, each part is painstakingly brought to perfection by the skilled hands of the craftsman. Yes, it involves a great deal of work—about 90% of the work that goes into each instrument is actually done by hand— but it results in instruments of the highest caliber. Special Seasoning Assembled instruments that are destined to become top of the line YVN200 series models are next sent on to a specially developed seasoning process. Placing the instrument in a computer controlled environment where seasonal changes in temperature and humidity are simulated at an accelerated rate allows the parts to settle naturally into place, thus reducing tonal imbalances and enhancing the instrument’s tonal quality. When the violin finally reaches the hands of the customer, it is matured and ready to play—an instrument of the utmost in quality. Yamaha has also applied an initial response acceleration effect to both the 200 and 100 series instruments. This special process produces instruments with a mature response, as if they have been played repeatedly. Selecting the Finest Woods The most critical element in the making of any fine instrument is the selection of materials. Over a century’s worth of accumulated experience in the production of fine acoustic pianos and guitars has provided our master craftsmen with an extensive knowledge of woods. They know which pieces will make a fine instrument and take great care in selecting pieces of the highest quality. The standards defined for material selection for these violins are extremely high. Only the finest of premium cuts of spruce are considered for tops and materials for back, sides, and neck must pass the strictest standards, which include qualities such as density, grain, beauty, strength and light weight. Application of the Finish As in the selection of woods, our deep-rooted experience with pianos and fine acoustic guitars has given us a vast knowledge of instrument finishes, and the varnish specially formulated for use on Yamaha violins has benefited greatly from this. Carefully applied by hand with a brush, multiple coats of this finish result in a tone that is reminiscent of historic Italian violins, and produce an elegant red amber gloss.
Full, rich tone, with a high range that is sweet and melodious Lively and brilliant, a modern day classic These are instruments that possess great emotion, delivering full, rich tone with clear low-mids and a high range that is sweet and melodious. Using a design based on the analysis and modeling of instruments made by the master Guarneri del Gesu, our master craftsmen have gone to great lengths to ensure that the YVN200G provides the finest in materials, design, technology, and craftsmanship that Yamaha has to offer. Similarly, the YVN100G offers exceptional quality and outstanding cost performance. Based on analysis and modeling of the Stradivari design, the YVN200S and YVN100S produce a brilliant, noble tone that is reminiscent of their roots. Highly responsive instruments, they follow the player’s every whim and are exceptionally sensitive to the slightest changes in bowing. The YVN200S instruments represent the finest in materials, design, and craftsmanship Yamaha has to offer. Like the YVN100G, the YVN100S also offers exceptional quality and outstanding cost performance. YVN200G YVN200G YVN200S YVN200S
