Schatten VVM-STD Violin/Viola Stick-on Pickup w/Side-Mount Carpenter Jack Schatten VVM-STD Violin/Viola Stick-on Pickup with JackThe Schatten VVM STD Violin/Viola Pickup uses a stick-on sensor that is completely removeable, and includes a side-mounted mahogany jack.
Over a period of 6 years Schatten had a ton of people who asked if Schatten could design a pickup that could simply attach to their instrument instead of having to go through the hassle of changing bridges. The pickup had to sound terrific, had to be simple and quick to install or remove. It also had to be complete and ready to go without requiring any wiring, soldering or other fussing around.
Whether you're using the VVM on a violin or viola, you will find unparalleled sound quality and dynamic response. As with all of the Schatten pickups, the VVM pickup is designed to operate properly and sound terrific without the use of a preamp when running into any 'normal' amp (guitar amp, bass amp, etc.) If you are plugging into a PA system or mixer, you may require a preamp to increase the signal strength to match that equipment (preamp not included).
Installation - The VVM STD comes complete and ready to use. Installation simply means attaching the jack assembly to your instrument using the included adjuster tool, applying a bit of the included putty to the back of the pickup, and then sticking the pickup in place. That's about it. Total installation time for those who are all thumbs seems to average about 3 minutes. Placing the VVM sensor on the bridge of a violin or viola is about as quick and easy as it gets.
