will it work with a silent electric violin?

It depends on the design of the instrument. Many electric violins will only take their proprietary shoulder and chin rests.If you're talking specifically about the Yamaha Silent Violins, it will work on them. Many electrics have a frame that simulates the lower bout of a violin, and those will take any shoulder rest... same for any others that have a lower bout frame with the same dimensions as an acoustic violin.

It is not completely silent. You have control over the volume, however, even if you put headphones on others will still hear the violin, but it is quiet.

No, this is a passive pickup. I have the violin version and run it out through a preamp and then to a pa system. I have used this set up for 10 years and it is excellent. I play with a guy who uses this pickup in his upright bass. He runs it directly to an amp and it works great when you limit the vibrations on the pickup by bending it up a little away from the face of the bass.

It will work if you have a headphone out. You simply plug this in between your Mac and your headphones. The resistance of your Head Phones (rated in ohms) will dictate how load it gets. My are 250 ohm and it still gets plenty loud and remains clean.

I am currently using mine with an Electro Harmonix silencer and it works well.I tried to use it with a boss floor pedal and it DID NOT work.

It should work equally well regardless of what instrument is input. I have used it with electric guitars and acoustic guitars with a bridge pickup. Good luck!

Not sure but probably. I use mine some for violin but mostly I use a guitar tuner.

I doubt it would work to well. The tone of the DS-1 is very treble heavy, so it would probably make the violin sound nasally or whiney.

You may need a pre-amp especially for recording input...also check to make sure your microphone is or is not PHANTOM powered, otherwise you might have to get another in between the line input for that to get it to work. I just had to order one for my violin pick-up as most amps do not have a PHANTOM setting.

I don't know. I bought it for a 4/4 and have not ever used a smaller violin. If the string spacing is the same I don't see why it wouldn't.

It should, it works with any stringed instrument. It responds to vibrations within the wood whenever a string is plucked.... it works with my electric guitars even when they're not plugged in.....just pluck an open string gently and the entire instrument vibrates, and the snark is very sensitive to read the pitch of that vibration. Once each string is in proper pitch (and that only takes a few seconds to achieve with this tuner), each of my guitars are in perfect tune up and down the neck. Just remember to turn the snark tuner off when you're done to save the battery.

If the bridge of the dulcimer is like a banjo bridge or very similar, my guess is that it should work. I can only say this from what I have seen in pictures. I hope this helps.

Why not? This would depend on whether your string bridge is approximately the same width as a violin bridge. Compare your width and a fellow student's who plays the violin (the bridges, that is); if they're approximately the same, it will work. Depth does not matter. The mute is a good product for its purpose. If used often, it should remain flexible and useful for a lifetime.

It will work for any hollow body stringed instrument, but it is super sensitive, start with your amp set really low. also, it is sensitive to amp feedback, so don't get in front of your amp at all, unless you want to blow out the speaker and your eardrums.

no.will wrk on narrow bridge violin very well,on a banjo u just use yr palm on the strings too mute it,very easy

No, just slide the mute onto the bridge beneath the strings. It will also work on the "moon" bridges, that are rounded (compensated).

Yep it should work..clip it on to the headstock ( clips on like a clothes pin) then pluck a string..it picks up the vibration of the string through the guitar..it actually senses the vibration rather than the audible sound of the string...works great
