Does this work for a violin with a pickup?

This units simply converts an audio signal to its digital counterpart. In essence it should work.

Hello Sir, I was told that it works with guitar, bass guitar, and violin. U would guess it would work with the Chello. Good luck. Gene

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.

the pickup is 2-3/4" long and 7/64" wide so I don't think so. You may be able to cut it to length. It's only $6 so it may be worth a try.

Haven't tried with violins, but if will tell you that it is the most accurate sound for acoustic guitars I have ever heard, and I bought mine with much skepticism.

It's not a microphone in the traditional sense but this pickup clips to your violin and then you plug the phono jack end in to your amp, powered speaker, or audio interface. We find that it works better than a microphone. The price is ridiculously low but for us it has been perfect for my friend's violin.

This is a piezzo pickup with a 1/4" plug. It is intended for amplifying acoustic guitars. I have heard of it being used for Rocksmith, though.

As the unit is designed to pick up pitch via vibration, I would assume it can be used on any stringed instrument. That being said, there are web sites available on this topic, here is one using a guitar tuner on a violin: http://www.ehow.com/how_6199235_tune-violin-guitar-tuner.html

I use it on a banjo, there is a sticky side on the base, but it's not very functional. I rigged up some tape to keep it stable and the nodes. Not sure how it would work for a harp. The pick up itself works very great

I used it to replace a faulty active preamp, I'm not sure if it will work with passive pickups, but I think it should.

The Snark SN-5 is supposed to work for Guitar, Bass and Violin. It works great on my acoustic guitar. I don't have a Bass, so I can't say for sure, but I bet it would work.

Not sure about that... The sound hole on my nylon string guitar is a bit small for the pickup. I did try to see if would fit if I took the strings off and got at it that way, but that was all to no avail as the last time I used the pickup I stood on the cord when I stood up and it has broken the lead (the way the cord hangs from such pickups is a bit of a problem, I think) - so at the moment nothing works! However, the manual says: "We recommend you string your guitar with bronze or phosphor bronze strings to achieve the best response from the pickup."

Very likely defective pickups. You can try to plug it into an amp to test it as well. My pickups were defective, and we decided the overall quality of the electronics were not worth going to the hassle of changing out, so we returned the 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.

I gave my guitar and amp to a very dear friend down on his luck. I know it had switch for violin & guitar but don't truly remember anything else. I hope this helps. It worked great. My friend lives in the Bayou & lost several fingers. I am not comfortable asking him about it at this time.

Yes, as long as there is room to clamp it to the headstock to pick up the vibration it'll work.

It should work with any instrument with a pick up and a 1/4 inch plug or converter to 1/4 inch plug.
