Our Violin Pickup is a miniature vibration sensor cast directly
into a Superieur Despiau “Two Tree” maple bridge for maximum
sensitivity and signal transfer. As an integral part of the
bridge, it effortlessly captures the instrument’s inherent
dynamics. Furthermore, its selective admittance pattern is
aligned so that the signal is generated as the bridge moves in a
left-right motion (in response to the string vibrations). The
pickup also rejects any impulse directed to the plane of the
bridge- minimizing annoying finger squeaks, body noise and
feedback. It is the pickup of choice for top pros like Mark
O’Connor, Darol Anger, Jean-Luc Ponty, and Sara Watkins. An
external preamp is recommended.
