Schatten D-3 Std.   Dulcimer Pickup

     The new Schatten  D-3 Std. Dulcimer pickup is now available. We've created an outstanding pickup that combines great sound with simple and quick installation......and best of all, for most installations you don't have to modify a thing on your dulcimer as no holes have to be drilled and no screws are used.

     The D-3 Std. Dulcimer pickup mounts to the soundboard of any shape of dulcimer with a little bit of our special non-marring putty. A thin layer of the putty applied to the underside of the pickup attaches the piezo unit securely to the top of the instrument. The putty will not dry out and will not leave any residue on the instrument.

     The photo to the left shows the mounting of the piezo unit on the soundboard. On our particular instrument, the piezo unit just happens to partially cover one of the 'f' holes. The pickup mounting location on most instruments is approximately even with the last fret of the instrument. The piezo unit does not necessarily have to be near or over an 'f' hole or sound hole.

     This pickup has been designed to operate properly and sound terrific without the use of a preamp when plugged into any 'normal' amp (guitar amp, etc.).

     If you require the added ability to be able to plug directly into a P.A. or mixer then you may wish to add one of our Preamp/DI units to your pickup system.

 

 
 
   

   

     The D-3 Std. comes complete with a rosewood bodied 1/4" output jack assembly and is fully wired and ready to use. For most installations, the jack assembly mounts securely to the end block of the dulcimer with the supplied 3M VHB foam mounting tape so no holes need be drilled in the instrument. Holes have been provided through the jack body should you want to attach the jack assembly with screws.

 Each pickup is hand built and tested in our workshop to ensure good sound. As well, each pickup is warranted for a period of two years from date of purchase to the original purchaser.

A note about preamps, DI's, mixers, boards: This pickup is designed  to work properly running from our pickup into any normal amp (guitar amp, bass amp, etc.).

Due to design factors inherent in P.A. mixers and boards (and these vary considerably), if you are running straight into a P.A., then a Preamp/ DI will most likely  be necessary to boost line signal strength and lower the impedance so that the mixer receives a proper signal.
