K&k Violinissimo Triple Sensor Violin Pickup

This transducer system consists of three of pickup heads.
1. The two bigger heads are wedged between the violin's top and each bridge foot.
2. The third smaller head is stuck into one wingslot of the bridge.

The position underneath the bridge's feet produces an extremely voluminous and smooth sound because the bridge applies vertical pressure to the piezo crystals. In this spot, the low frequencies and the sound elements of the violin's corpus are picked up. The pickup in the bridge's wingslot adds to the sound's brilliance. All three transducers together transmit a perfectly balanced violin sound. The exaggeration of the high-end frequencies, which are being jeopardized with other violin pickups, is eliminated directly at the sound source when using the Violinissimo.

The jack is attached to the string holder with a velcro-type adhesive system, which is distinctively stronger, more durable, and sturdier than standard Velcro. It can be opened and closed repeatedly without affecting the pickup transmission. Violinissimo has been designed for musicians who mainly want to amplify their instruments electronically and who wish to achieve an extraordinary natural sound without feedback.

Here's what the player's think.

Violinissimo:

Jim E. - "I love the Violinissomo! It gives me a more natural sound on my fiddle than anything I have ever tried. It seems to sound best with basically no EQ at all. Thanks for such a great sounding pickup!"

Craig N. - "The pickup has a gorgeous and full sound that has helped land us a regular spot at the bar we debuted. I just wanted to let you know that your product and service are exquisite."

Joel B. - "The Violinissimo is vastly superior to the Barcus Berry transducer I was using. Now my amplified sound is 'musical' and natural sounding instead of 'touch-tone like.' I've gotten many compliments on my sound."

Jimmy - "I play just about every style of violin and the pickup is so natural sounding. It makes it fun again to play with a sound like the Violinissimo gives my instrument!"
