    • Clear, easy to use, great quality
Style: Piezo Violin
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 ... show more

    • Fabulous for the price!!
Style: Piezo Violin
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!! ... show more

    • Great Device. . . . for Public Performance!
Style: Piezo Violin
This is the second pickup like this I have installed. . . . . one on a full size violin, and this one on my viola, that I use on a regular basis for public performances using a PA or amplifier. The ease of playing my viola, without having to stand near a vocal mic is such a relief!! Now I can relax, and move more naturally with my instrument, and also use some reverb, effects with it, independent of our vocal mic settings. An extremely easy to install pickup system!! A slight modification to the bridge, with a mini file, or sandpaper. . . . .is all that is necessary for proper placement. ... show more

    • LR Baggs preamp really helps
Style: Piezo Violin
At first the KNA VV3 pickup on my violin sounded so bright and harsh i thought I would be sending it back. But after a day or so of tweaking using the EQ options on my LR Baggs Venue DI things have turned around dramatically. I had to roll off the piercing highs dramatically as well as some of the nasal mids. But now the sound is surprisingly warm and natural. I never would have thought it would be this good based on the first listen. I have to say I am completely satisfied now, and the volume level before feedback is awesome. So can say the KNA VV3 is a great option for a violin pickup, but you are likely going to need a good EQ capable preamp to tame this beast. ... show more

    • It’s a nice sound
Style: Piezo Violin
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. ... show more

    • Ok cool it happens
Style: Piezo Violin
Received first pickup, did not work. Ok cool it happens. Received replacement pickup. Doesn't work. If you hold it just right a certain way it works for a sec or two. Garbage quality control. Stay away until they resolve this issue. Got this because of the size. I guess I will have to hunt for another pickup. I bought below after second try of the Kremona, guess what, worked the first time, sounds fine, and was less than 10 bucks. Go figure.
