We have many different pickups available including Shadow, Fishman, Barcus Berry, Schaller, K&K, LR Baggs and more.  Any acoustic instrument outfitted with a pickup can be plugged in to an amp or PA system to provide the volume desired or required.  Custom pickup installation services are also available at Frank's Violins.

Shadow Pickups

Shadow introduces 3 new pick ups for Stringed instruments that require no modification to the instrument and all feature a super sensitive soundboard pickup, volume and tone control, 1/4" output socket, 3V cell battery,
and very low power consumption.  These pickups provide absolute natural sound with “0” hum. The pickups are based on Shadow's new NFX-technology.  The pick up sensor is less than 1 mm thick so modification is generally not necessary.
