We are thrilled with the sound of this new innovative system and consider it a major step forward in violin amplification. The Aceto/Violect Pickup System is now available on both our Violect and N·V models. It is also available as a retro-fit for all Aceto/Violects from 1988 to the present, as well as for use on acoustic instruments.
In response to my customers, who loved the amplified sound of my standard pickup and who were asking for a system that had negligible effect on the instrument acoustically, I have redesigned the standard pickup to have a narrower foot width and a more solid structure.
Using high quality bridge blanks and well aged Bosnian bridge wood, the top portion is carefully mortised and firmly fixed into the base which houses the two sensors. This two-piece construction enables me to place the pickups exactly where I want in relation to the feet, giving the best response and most open tone while still holding up acoustically.
This bridge pickup is the model used on all our Artist series instruments and is now offered for use on all violins. This version has a bit less output than the original design but still strong enough to be used directly into a combo style amp. When well fit by a competent violin repairman, the tone is uncompromising and faithful to even the finest of acoustic instruments.
