This is the next generation of electric stringed instruments from Yamaha, the Silent Practice Plus™! This violin offers players the most sophisticated features in an electric stringed instrument. It is the most comfortable, lightweight Silent Violin available. At only 17oz, the violin feels like a traditional acoustic violin.

The new SV-150 Silent Practice Plus Violin™ takes practice to an entirely new level with its new-concept control box featuring digital tuner, high quality digital metronome with backlight screen and 24 digital sound effects. Effects include reverb, distortion and vibrato, auto-wah, phlanger, octave, and much more. These 24 effects can be digitally adjusted to your liking by changing the depth and speed of the effects.

A 1 GIG SD card makes it possible to play along with your favorite recorded tracks in mp3, m4a, wav, and MIDI file formats. Download any tracks to the SD card and play along to anything, anytime. The SD card comes with 8 pre-loaded tunes.

The music player can slow down a recorded track by as much as 50% or of the original track speed, and still maintain the same pitch. This allows you to master a more difficult part at a slower speed and then you can slowly increase the speed until you are back to normal.

If you think a track is playing to slow for your taste, then the music player will allow you to speed it up to 150% of the original speed, and still maintain the same pitch.
