Schertler DYN-V for Violin and Viola Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am one of those people who always tries to find a deal. Why pay this amount for name brand when you can get the generic same much less. I've had to learn that in the case of sound equipment, you get what you pay for (for the most part).
Our fiddler needed a pick up and she didnt want one that effected or modified her fiddle in any way. Didnt want to cut any notches into the bridge, etc. She found this picked and when I saw the price, I was put off. Finally, the band caved in and loaned the money for her to get it.
I will say I'm very impressed. The sound is beautiful, we haven't had issues with feedback. It WILL take a little playing around with to find the right place on YOUR fiddle that sounds best. The first time she put it on in the middle of the body, the sound was very hollow. She's played around and found a great sounding spot.
We also bought a pre-amp just to give it that extra head room. If you have the money, buy this pickup.

Schertler STAT-V Electrostatic Transducer for Violin and Viola with STAT-Preamplifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Schertler is state of the art amplification for your acoustic instrument. My daughter is a professional freelance violinist who uses this pick up on her classical acoustic violin. It is versatile: progressive rock, folk, bluegrass. It holds its own in all situations, even in large venues. Her first pick up from Schertler lasted 8 years with everyday rugged use. She had to save money to replace the first, so shows required use of stationary mics, which were less than satisfactory for live shows in her situation. The pick up is actually a mini microphone that fits into the little space in the bridge and is removable with no damage to your instrument.
Most importantly, there is no nasty Piezo pick up sound, so the sound is true, natural, and warm. I actually prefer this amplification to venues and recording studios where the recording engineers have used instrument microphones, which sounds harsher and unnatural. Mindy W.
