    • Clear, easy to use, great quality
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

    • Solid vibration mic
Works well

    • Fabulous for the price!!
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 sounding pickup
Review Image by Sue Custer
I have played my violin one session since installing this pickup. Ran instrument cord into a pre-amp pedal ( Boss AD-2) and through my church sound system. It sounds fantastic. * I did have to increase the opening size of the horizontal gap next to the bridge eye. I actually prefer having to modify as it provides for a custom fit. * Make sure the instrument cord is pushed in all the way! The jack is very tight at first, but relaxes a bit after inserting cord a few times. ... show more

    • LR Baggs preamp really helps
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
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

    • Great Device. . . . for Public Performance!
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

    • The packaging was very damaged.
The pickup microphone sounded beautiful, but the reason I removed two stars is because my box was completely open when I opened my Amazon package. There was no tape to seal the little box where the microphone comes in. I was very disappointed because I spent over $100 dollars only to receive a damaged box. Thankfully the microphone still worked, but I ended up returning it because the pickup didn’t fit in my violin bridge and I didn’t want to make any modifications to my violin. ... show more
