Seymour Sunshine
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 3, 2025
A few weeks ago, Mrs Sunshine came home and told me, "I've just bought a violin by accident." She found it in a charity shop looking very forlorn. It was dusty and in a broken case, but the fiddle had a full set of strings and a good sound once cleaned, tidied up, and brought up to pitch.Well, she's already got (i) an acoustic and (ii) an electric violin, so I immediately thought to convert it to elecro-acoustic with a piezo pickup. She agreed and this pickup had the best reviews.The fitting was straightforward, and the sound produced was quite decent. I simply followed the YouTube video. But one important thing the video didn't point out was to remove material from the bottom of the slot on the bridge. If you remove material from the top of the slot, you'll thin out the little tongue too much. (I found this to my cost!)The socket box (which includes a volume control) fits very nicely and securely. You can place it on the left or the right, as you prefer.She's going to get the violin serviced by a local luthier (which will include a new bridge), so the fitting will be even better than I could manage.We've only tried it through a 3-Watt practice amplifier at home so far, but the sound was good enough. She'll be using it mainly for her church band through the church's sound system. She'd previously complained that she couldn't hear herself well when playing her Yamaha electric fiddle. This should solve that problem.Being a pietzo pickup is a real bonus as she won't have to be constantly stressing about running out of battery!Highly recommended.

Está ok. Suena bien pero no excelente. Está bien por el precio pero no lo recomiendo para en vivo

The shell covering the mike peels off on both sides on one set after just a week. Sound wise it is good enough. I bought for little school kids to use so it’s not a big deal. The cork feet are torn right off after a few tries— happened to all 3 sets I bought so it’s no accidental.

Takes a little while to get it in place, but so far very pleased with the puck up results

This is a great pickup for violin or viola! It captures the acoustic sound of my 16 inch viola nicely with a fender amp I tried, and I am looking to soon try it with a Boss Street Cube II amp as well. So far I am satisfied with my purchase! KNA Also has excellent customer service and is very responsive when contacted about their products.

Very easy install! No bridge to fit, just a simple 'chin rest' style attachment for the 1/4 inch input, and simple wedge of the pickup into the bridge opening!Great for performance, when you want to add some effects to your string sound!Only needed some minor EQ adjustments on my amp, and it was 'good to go'!!

Delivery was fast. It arrived much earlier than expected date.Device itself was very easy to install. It was also small enough that it would not bother the violin player.The overall sound is clear when cable is hooked-up. There is no distortion even when the violin player moves around.However, there seems to be a slight lowering of pitch when the sound came out from the amplifiers (we've tried two amplifiers with two sets of cables).
