Schatten Instrument Jack Assemblies

for Violin, Viola, Banjo

We make it easier for you!

The simplest way to wire your pickup to an output that utilizes a standard 1/4" phono jack is to use one of our handcrafted, specially designed jack assemblies.

There is one specifically designed for most applications:

Model: SJA

For Violin, Viola  -  Low Profile Output Jack Assembly

     We've crafted an all wood body for our new SJA. It's lighter and less intrusive in appearance than just about any other clamp on jack on the market. Using the same hardware found on a violin chinrest, the jack assembly attaches to your instrument securely without damage.

          The assembly body is made of darkened mahogany and is heavily cork padded where it comes into contact with the instrument. It is specially cut away on the underside to provide extra clearance. The jack assembly takes a standard 1/4" plug so that you can use a quality guitar cord....and there is enough clearance to plug in most wireless units.

     Specifications: The SJA  jack assembly will fit all violins 4/4, 3/4, sizes and violas.

Model: SJA Plus

For Violin, Viola

Low Profile Output Jack Assembly with Volume Control

     The new SJA Plus allows you to control the volume of your instrument right at your fingertips. In addition to the normal specifications of our standard SJA, we have added a high quality volume control unit.

         Using the same hardware found on a violin chinrest, the jack assembly attaches to your instrument securely without damage. It is specially cut away on the underside to provide extra clearance. The jack assembly takes a standard 1/4" plug so that you can use a quality guitar cord....and there is enough clearance to plug in most wireless units.

     Specifications: The SJA Plus jack assembly will fit all violins 4/4, 3/4 sizes and violas.

NBJA Banjo Jack Assembly

Beautiful!

     We have crafted an output jack assembly out of solid rosewood that allows you to attach a standard 1/4" output to your banjo without drilling any holes in the instrument or modifying it in any manner.

     This new design of jack assembly attaches to the tensioning hooks in the same manner that an arm rest is attached.

     This unit was designed to fit virtually any banjo known to man. It will fit banjos with hook spacings from 1 1/8" up to 1 15/16"
