Violin / Viola - V03 Neo Violin Pickup

Introducing the V-03 violin pickup with the new Neo-Jack series output jack. Exceptional sound quality in a pickup and the first production output jack that does not clamp to the side of a violin. The Neo-Jack, with a standard 1/4" output jack, is held in place simply and securely by the violin's own tail gut.

The V-03 offers unparalleled reproduction, range and clarity of sound all wrapped up in a high quality  Superieur Despiau B "two tree" maple bridge. There is no false 'fatness' of sound to this pickup. The response is sweet from the bottom end right up to the top. It has been tested and proven over nearly thirty years in production.

The Neo-Jack, held in place by the violin's own tail gut, will fit 99.9% of all  normal full adult-sized violins regardless of the chin rest clamps.


The pickup has been designed to sound terrific without the use of a preamp when plugged into any 'normal' amp (guitar amp, bass amp, etc.). As with any pickup, the sound can be further enhanced with an outboard preamp. If you require the added ability to be able to plug directly into a P.A. or mixer then you may wish to add either one of the Mini Pre belt clipable preamps
