## Description

The Realist RLSTVNQT Copperhead Violin Pickup - Most Respected Acoustic Instrument Pickup - Transparent Sound And Texture - Unmatched Dynamic Response - Self-Powered - USA Made

Review: Absolutely love this 100% recommend this pickup for violin. Install is easy if you know what you’re doing. Only took a few minutes to set up. Easy function and sounds exquisite. For the money this is definitely worth it. An investment for sure but my gigs have definitely improved since getting this instead of an entirely new instrument. All in all 10 out of 10 will definitely be getting the viola and cello versions later. The quality is unmatched by any other piezo electric pickups I’ve tried in the past. A must have for any Giging, recording, or performance artist who needs the authenticity of their instrument amplified.
Review: The installation is a little bit tricky but very doable. Worked very well for my situation – I had been using a clip-on mic but there was too much bleed coming in from other instruments in the band. This pick up solved that problem. It gives a good clean sound. The only drawback is that in order to put my violin back in the case, I have to disconnect the jack from the body of the instrument. But you can leave the business end of the device still under the legs of the bridge if you perform mostly amplified. If you need to play without amplification a lot, you probably will want to remove it because the device does change the tone of the violin a small amount. This pickup would work best if you have two violins: one for amplified stuff you can leave this on, and one not.

## Features

- REAL SOUND: The Realist Copperhead Violin Pickup provides a transparent sound color and texture with unmatched dynamic response. Produces an authentic amplified sound, better than any other pickup.
