- Minimal, low-profile design: a flat clip that strengthens your acoustic violin or viola signal without changing the instrument’s appearance or playability. Compact and unobtrusive for stage or studio use. - Ready to use, no power required: operates without batteries or charging. Plug-and-play convenience for rehearsals, gigs, and recordings. - Authentic acoustic sound: reproduces the genuine tone of violin or viola without harming the instrument. Tonal character and pickup sensitivity are adjusted by placing the clip in the instrument’s F-hole. - Practical mounting: the jack is mounted at the corner block so the tailpiece is not additionally loaded. This reduces stress on the bridge area and preserves instrument balance. - Clean cable routing and freedom of movement: the cable can be routed out of sight, allowing the musician to move with fewer restrictions on stage or in ensemble settings. Compatibility and function - Designed for violins and violas with F-holes and a accessible corner block. The clip’s F-hole placement controls timbre and sensitivity to match the instrument and playing style. - Flat, low-profile form factor keeps bowing and fingering uninhibited while providing a stable pickup position. Performance highlights - Natural, true-to-instrument reproduction suitable for live amplification and direct recording. - Simple installation and removal without adhesive or instrument modification. Typical use scenarios 1) Live performance: quickly clip into the F-hole, mount the jack on the corner block, hide the cable, and plug into your PA or amp for a natural amplified tone and full stage mobility. 2) Studio recording: capture an authentic violin or viola sound without added contact mics or permanent modifications; adjust placement in the F-hole to refine tone and sensitivity. 3) Rehearsal or practice with amplification: plug in immediately—no batteries or charging—so you can rehearse amplified parts or play with a backing track with minimal setup. What it solves - Keeps your instrument’s look and playability intact while enabling reliable amplification. - Avoids adding strain to the tailpiece or bridge area by using the corner-block-mounted jack. - Eliminates battery management and complex setups for straightforward, consistent use. Includes - Flat F-hole sound clip and corner-block mount jack ready for immediate use (no batteries or charging required). Note: Intended for instruments with traditional F-holes and a corner block; placement within the F-hole affects tonal balance and pickup sensitivity.
