Violinissimo
This three transducer system uses unique positioning to capture natural sound.

ViolinissimoThis transducer system consists of three separate units: two very thin transducers are placed between the violin's top and each bridge foot, and the third, smaller transducer, is slipped into one wingslot of the bridge.


The position underneath the bridge's feet produces an extremely voluminous and smooth sound because the bridge applies vertical pressure to the piezo crystals. In this spot, the low frequencies and the sound elements of the violin's corpus are picked up. The pickup in the bridge's wingslot adds to the sound's brilliance. All three transducers together transmit a perfectly balanced violin sound. The exaggeration of the high-end frequencies, which are being jeopardized with other violin pickups, is eliminated directly at the sound source when using the Violinissimo.


The jack is attached to the string holder with a velcro-type adhesive system, which is distinctively stronger, more durable, and sturdier than standard Velcro. It can be opened and closed repeatedly without affecting the pickup transmission. Violinissimo has been designed for musicians who mainly want to amplify their instruments electronically and who wish to achieve an extraordinary natural sound without feedback.


The jack is attached to the string holder with a velcro-type adhesive system; it is slightly different than the photo. A matching cable that terminates in a standard 1/4" jack is included. K&K Sound specifies that no preamp is required.
Bridge feet transducers: 1/2" x 1/32", Bridge wing transducer: 1/2" x 5/16" Height: 1/32"; terminates in phono jack, includes matching phono plug 5' cable cable ending in a 1/4" jack. Impedance: High ohmic; Length of the 3 Pickup connection wires: About 5"
