Schatten Violin Pickups VR Series --       -- VVM Series Schatten VVM series available in two models Non-Permanent Stick-On Pickups for Violin and Viola The VVM Series of pickups will give you a convenient way to add a pickup to your violin or viola. These pickups were designed for quick and easy installation and removal and will provide you with a means for amplifying your instrument when you need it. When you don't need a pickup, the VVM can simply be stored away. They come complete and ready to go with no wiring, soldering or other fussing around. Installation simply means attaching the jack assembly to your instrument, applying a bit of the special supplied putty to the back of the pickup, and then sticking the pickup in place. That's about it. Total installation time for those who are all thumbs seems to average about 3 minutes. The VVM Series of pickups comes with your choice of either our SJA jack assembly (which provides a 1/4" output jack or our SJAplus jack assembly (which provides a 1/4" output jack plus an integrated volume control). These pickups are designed to fit full size and 3/4 size violins and violas.
