About this item

  • Reproduces the instrument vibrations authentically
  • Easy installation without damaging the instrument
  • Super sensitive Nanoflex pickup
  • Volume and tone control
  • 1/4-Inch output socket


Violin is a trade mark instrument for the planet earth. Its beautiful design and incredible frequency response make this instrument to be loved and used in symphony, jazz and contemporary music. Shadow's Nanoflex technology makes no compromise in preserving these features. It is built to reproduce the instrument vibrations authentically with every move of the bow in all positions. No need of instrument modification was a must in developing this absolutely noise and hum free violin pickup system. Nanoflex pickups do not only take the vibrations of the strings like common under saddle pickups. Nanoflex senses the vibrations of the strings AND the body of the instrument simultaneously. No other pickup technology gives you this high level of sound reproduction. Due to active amplification directly at the pickup and 100% shielding of the entire system, no sound will be lost and no hum created. This is why the best violin players in the world are using the Shadow SH 945 NFX violin Nanoflex pickup system. The pickup mounts easily under the bridge and senses the vibrations of the bridge and the body. Control unit with volume and tone potentiometer mounts on violin side with chin rest type assembly. The control unit has input for pickup and standard 1/4-Inch jack output, 3V cell battery (2032). Mounts easily and provides 1 year lifetime.

Literally been trying to find a violin pickup for folk music which is affordable & does the job required for over 25 years, until I found this!Tried Fishman bridge insert type pickups with expensive additional EQ & preamps, yet these all sound tinny and spoil the acoustic sound of the violin, then tried a Fender electric violin but no match to the natural folky perfection rendered by the Shadow pickup!The built in preamp/EQ is perfect, with instantly accessible, easily replaceable batteries.Downsides? I had to have the bridge height adjusted by a luthier after installing the pickup below the bridge & could do with cork rather than foam on the clamp.

I've had one that's worked flawlessly for 10 years and I got this one for a friend. I've tried others but this one reproduces the sound true to what it is.

Après 2 ans, le micro ne marche plus même après avoir mis une pile neuve !Sinon avant ça marchait bien, mais attention : les boutons de réglages sont minuscules et il n'y a pas de bouton marche-arrêt. Un bouton marche arrêt serait plus utile que le réglage grave-aigüs aux effets bofbof.Et puis le réglage du bouton de volume ne se voit pas. Je vais essayer avec un point de blanco typex...

This best under bridge pickup / preamp I've tried and I've tried most. The dual piezo pickups work to collect vibrations from both the bridge and the top plate of the violin. This all but eliminates the excessive bow noise transferred by most violin under bridge pickups. Also, even standing in front of an amp, there just isn't any feedback!

I have no problem with the sound quality of this pickup, but I am disappointed in the clamp on attachment. When screwed completely to the tighest position, there is still a large gap between the pickup and the violin. I have had to find things to put under the pickup to fill that space when I tighten things up, but it is a gaudy looking something because the pickup sits too high on the violin and there is a problem with the high setting when closing the case when the violin is in it. It appears to me that the engineering could be better. I am presently looking to purchase another brand that makes better attachment to my fiddle. I have tried to communicate with Shadow but they do not list a phone number or web address. It is a shame to have a product and no means of communication with the company for suggestions or corrections.
