Yamaha's vibes are world class instruments that reflect a beautiful sound supported by practical design. Made of aluminium alloy unique to Yamaha, our vibe bars respond well at low dynamics yet do not distort at high levels. The special tuning of the bars, unique to our various models, ensures a pure fundamental and solid, full tone. By working with top pros, our design team creates instruments that not only sound wonderful, but offer exceptionally smooth mechanical operation for all recording and performance situations.
As a compact, lightweight vibe, the YV 520 uses a narrow, non-graduated bar design without non-essential, accidental resonators. Professional features include accurate tuning, variable speed motor with silent on/off, sturdy frame, height adjustment, large casters, oversized pedal and double looking pedal assembly.
