  • Great addition and value for money
Style: Piezo Violin
This was purchased for a gig and I was extremely pleased! Very easy to put on and off, I only had to sand very lightly the bridge opening (no harm at all). Sound was great though I don’t have other pickup to compare with. For the price this is an amazing product! I was pleased and glad I read the reviews! ... show more

  • Works fine.
Style: Piezo Violin
I used it for my violin. The sound was and is pleasant. I have noticed fiddle players Giada Cunningham and Aisling Sage use these pickup’s for their violins in Lord of the Dance.

  • Awesome for any acoustic stringed instrument!

Awesome for any acoustic stringed instrument!
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2024 by For the most part, very solid. Had some missing parts and the vendor did not respond to my request for replacement items at all whatsoever. I plan on buying more stands but if I cannot get a simple response, maybe not from these guys.

  • 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

  • I stopped using it
Style: Piezo Violin
I don't remember why I stopped using this pickup. But I was planning to buy another when the wonderful Amazon records keeping advised that I had bought one in 2021. And then it was in the first box of many that I planned to search for it. If you looked over my studio you would know that was a gift. It was about that time, 2021, that I decided to try an electric violin and that is where I have been. I am now thinking I might want to join the church choir and the acoustic would look nice. That violin was made by my great uncle and I got it in 1936. I am now 95. It has been appraised at a quite healthy amount. So this is a little review with some history. If I get that violin humming I'll update this review. ... show more

  • It’s a nice sound
Style: Piezo Violin
It has the warmer, woody quality I was looking for, but got crunchy in the mid range. I think I had too much pressure in the bow, or rather, more than it could handle. But, it will serve well for acoustic gigs that need a mellow volume boost. Be advised too, that you will have to file a bit on your bridge to make more space for this pickup. ... show more
