Schatten V-02 Series Pickups For Violin

The V-02 Series Is Available In 3 Models

...choosing a pickup for your violin?

The V-02 offers unparalleled reproduction, range and clarity of sound all wrapped up in a high quality medium density bridge. There is no false 'fatness' of sound to this series of pickups; they will give you everything that your violin has.

Thousands of players, professional and amateur alike, are simply getting the best sound that they can get out of their instruments. All V-02 models are in 4/4 size and fit a normal full sized adult violin.

The response is sweet from the bottom end right up to the top. We use a high quality maple bridge of medium density that is ready for fitting and curvature. Since our single piezo sensing unit is built right into the bridge, it can not fall out or get out of position or adjustment. There is no acoustic degradation or loss of normal acoustic tone or volume.

The pickup has excellent volume, great bottom and mids....and overall, a sweet, even response
