Electrify your acoustic with a violin pickup

Use your present violin, viola, cello or upright bass in an amplified setting by putting a violin pickup or microphone on the instrument. Violin pickups not only allow you to be heard evenly and well by your audience, but will grant you freedom to move about in performance rather than standing still behind a microphone stand! There are three categories of violin pickups to choose from depending on your tone and budget requirements. They are:

Permanent pickups
Removable pickups
Clip-on microphones

We carry a large selection of piezo transducers from Barbera, Fishman, Headway, K & K, Kremona, LR Baggs, Realist, Schatten, Starfish and Yamaha. Schertler makes both electrostatic transducers, which they call their STAT series, and dynamic contact mics, called the DYN series, that adhere to the body of the instrument. We also carry excellent clip-on instrument microphones from Audio-Technica and DPA.
