## Description

desertcart.com: KNA VV-3 Portable Piezo Pickup for Violin and Viola – Lightweight Bridge-Mounted Sensor, Natural Acoustic Sound, Easy Installation, 1/4" Output Jack, No Instrument Modification, Handcrafted in Europe : Everything Else

Review: Clear, easy to use, great quality - The quality of this definitely speaks for the price. If you’re on the fence between this and a cheaper version, buy this. The setup is so quick and you can keep it on when your violin is back in the case without it doing any damage. It fits super great and I can see it fitting any type of bridge, too. Noise projection was super clear
Review: Fabulous for the price!! - I play gigs a couple times a year and decided to invest in a minimally-invasive violin pickup to make mic set-up easier and cut down on feedback. The sound quality is fantastic! I opted to place the pickup on the A & E string side of the bridge as I felt the D & G side wasn't projecting the higher notes as well. Doesn't sound "tinny" like some cheaper electric violins sound. I think it does a great job preserving the rich acoustic sound and with minimal if any popping or feedback issues. It doesn't add too much weight, either. Great buy!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can the sensor and other components be safely removed when not in use?**
A: Yes you simply reverse the process of putting it on. That said when removing the pickup portion from the bridge do not pull by the wire.
Easy peazy

**Q: What is the frequency range for this pickup? I am considering trying to adapt it for use on an autoharp.**
A: Hello,

     Thank you for the inquiry. To answer your question this pickup will amplify all audible frequencies. You might want to also look into our AP series pickups. Those might work a little better and you won't have to alter the pickup. 

Best,

Kremona North America

**Q: Can this be connected to a console?**
A: Hello,

My name is Sean and I am a representative from KNA pickups. To answer your question, you can plug directly into a mixing board. 

Best,

**Q: Can it work with phantom power at all?**
A: This is a passive piezo pickup and neither requires nor suports phantom power, as it's not a balanced output.   You COULD choose to pass it through a preamp which runs on your choice of an A/C adapter,  or batteries,  or phantom power.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s a nice sound
*by L***E on May 21, 2024*

It has the warmer, woody quality I was looking for, but my first review was for three stars because of a crunchy midrange. But, I think the performance is improved with use, as if the wood aging made it better. Be advised too, that you will have to file a bit on your bridge to make more space for this pickup.
