Schatten MT Series Mandolin Pickups for Flat Top Mandolins

Choosing a pickup for a flat top mando? The MT-Series will give you a truly warm and wonderfully accurate sound. All MT pickups utilize the same high performance full length oversize piezo element built into a high quality ebony bridge and deliver great response and good tonal balance.
- Clarity
- Superior volume and balance from string to string.
- Cleaner, crisper sound reproduction than ever before.


This pickup has been designed to operate properly and sound terrific without the use of a preamp when plugged into any 'normal' amp (guitar amp, bass amp, etc.). If you require the added ability to be able to plug directly into a P.A. or mixer then you may wish to add one of Schatten's Preamp/DI units to your pickup system.

All MT mandolin pickups are available with Schatten's New MVC or MVCplus (with volume control) jack assemblies. The jack assembly, which nestles in right next to the tail piece, is only a half an inch high and mounts to the tailpiece on most mandolins.


An exploded view of the jack mounting illustrates how the jack assembly attaches to the underside of the the tailpiece with 3M VHB foam tape.


The New MVC series of jack assemblies mounts very securely to the underside of any 'normal' mandolin tailpiece. Installation is quick and easy with the jack assembly attaching to the tailpiece with 3M VHB (Very High Bond) tape. The underside of the jack assembly has a protective felt backing so as not to scratch the face of the instrument.

Each pickup is hand built and tested by Schatten to ensure good sound. As well, each pickup is warranted for a period of two years from date of purchase to the original purchaser.
