Description
Very transparent sound, color, and texture with unmatched dynamic response both arco and pizzicato. The Realist sounds more like the instrument it is amplifying than any other pickup on the market. No need to re-attenuate amp settings between arco and pizz. Requires a simple installation you can do in your own home, but Atlantic Strings is happy to install the pick up for free. No change to the instrument required. Transducer for violin, black-wrapped copper element, 1/4″ clamp-on jack. Recommended for players who use wireless systems. Standard input makes it easier to find patch cables.

Finally, what I have been looking for! I have been searching for a good pick-up for my violin for a while and have been unsuccessful until now. The ones I have tried previously did not project the sound the way I needed it to. This pick-up was able to not only project, but also clearly define the notes as I played them. I play a lot of events outside and this was an essential item I needed.
Also, the wire is able to be tucked away in the “f” hole of the instrument, so it doesn’t stick out. The install was pretty easy too. If you need help the shop has luthiers in to help with maintenance and repairs of instruments.
