Nobody disagrees that the sound of a pure acoustic instrument cannot be beaten. The raw tones and rich sound coming off the vibrations all throughout the instrument. Especially the acoustic violin. Every note plucked or played with a bow elegantly flows from the violin to the ears of those listening. So what do you do when you’re playing a bigger venue and need to amplify your acoustic violin? Piezo pickups compromise the authentic sound of the acoustic violin and traditional acoustic violin microphones don’t allow much movement on stage as well as dealing with the sound fluctuating based on placement. Luckily Myers Pickup has made an acoustic violin microphone that won’t fluctuate in sound, easily attaches to your acoustic violin and captures the natural tone of your acoustic violin.

The Feather Acoustic Violin Microphone

The first acoustic violin microphone that we recommend for acoustic violins would be our acoustic violin microphone known as the "Feather." This model was designed to keep the preamp box off of your instrument but still close enough to access the volume knob. This acoustic violin microphone gives you the ability to attach the powered preamp box to your belt or pocket, as the long acoustic violin microphone attaches to the acoustic violin. This design allows for less weight on the upper and lower areas of the acoustic violin, leaving you no extra weight to support. The end of the long acoustic violin microphone has a flexible gooseneck mic that easily attaches to the chin rest, tailpiece or even the f-hole on the acoustic violin. Many acoustic violinists prefer to attach the acoustic violin microphone to the chin rest or tailpiece of their acoustic violin and guide the flexible acoustic violin microphone to sit right above the f-hole, ready to catch every note you play. The design of this acoustic violin microphone allows ultimate freedom on stage and you will be left playing as if there is no acoustic violin microphone attached. 

The Clamp Acoustic Violin Microphone

The second model is our "Clamp" acoustic violin microphone. This acoustic violin microphone is nice because it sits securely on the depth of the acoustic violin with use of a tension clamp. The clamp allows you to easily place this acoustic violin microphone on either side of the acoustic violin and out of the way, where movement will be. This version of our acoustic violin microphone comes with either a 3" or a 6" flexible acoustic violin microphone that can sit and hold its position, right above the f-hole which is where most musicians prefer to place it. This acoustic violin microphone allows the preamp box to sit on the acoustic violin safely with rubber and cork bumpers, allowing you to easily turn the volume up and down without ever having to even let go of the bow. This acoustic violin microphone captures the acoustic violin's richness with the same high quality acoustic violin microphone as the Feather and all of our microphones.

The Grip Acoustic Violin Microphone

This acoustic violin microphone known as the "Grip" is the least common of the three acoustic violin microphones but is still preferred by some acoustic violinists because of the difference in attachment. This acoustic violin microphone uses a suction cup that is attached to the bottom of the preamp box, making it easy to place the whole acoustic violin microphone system onto your acoustic violin, without ever damaging it. The suction cup mounts securely to acoustic violins that have the smooth and glossy finish to them. Some acoustic violinists that have the glossy acoustic violin look prefer the suction cup because it is the easiest attachment to use, since everyone knows how a suction cup works. This acoustic violin microphone comes in both a single 3" or 6" model and even comes with the option of multiple acoustic violin microphones to attach all over the acoustic violin, covering both the f-holes. 

There is no way to go wrong with one of our acoustic violin microphones because all of our acoustic violin microphones use the same microphones. Our violin microphones capture the beauty that makes the acoustic violin the violin. Hear the deep tones and rich sound as well as the elegant finger plucking. Play in a small group or full orchestra and have the same reassurance that your sound will be as authentic as when you practice alone. Hear the same acoustics picked up from our acoustic violin microphones that you hear all the time. We know you will love the sound and realize there is a acoustic violin microphone out there that focuses on sound and, along with our 100% satisfaction guarantee, you have nothing to lose!
