Skyinbow Pure Acoustic Pickup – PA1 for violin and viola was designed by its author Kenny Johnson in order to provide the violin and viola players with a new possibility to amplify their instruments.

An unique system based on noiseless active electronics used already in Skyinbow S1 and batteryless technology was ingeniously compacted with the requests of those who prefer traditional design of violins. The biggest emphasis was given on preserving the original natural sound of the string bow instrument.

PA1 installation is easy, you only put the pickup into your brigde and then replace the classic chinrest with a specially designed one. You can install the Pure Acoustic Violin/Viola yourselves or we can it build it in for you.
