Clip-On Instrument Pickup with 6.5mm Plug and 2.5m Cable

A violin and a ukulele both need to carry over a noisy room. This clip-on pickup fixes to the instrument body and takes the signal down a 2.5 m cable to a 6.5 mm plug for an amp or recorder. It suits players who double on violin, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, sax or flute.

One Pickup for the Instruments You Double On

✅ Clips on, comes off The clip fixes to the instrument and comes away again between songs.

✅ Straight into the amp The 6.5 mm plug goes into an amplifier or recording input, with no other box in between.

✅ Reach across the stage A 2.5 metre cable gives room to stand back from the amplifier.

✅ Many instruments, one pickup Given as universal for musical instruments, from violin and banjo to ukulele, sax and flute.

✅ Nothing to charge No batteries are needed, so there is no pack to remember before a gig.

Setting up is two moves: clip the pickup to the instrument, then run the cable to the amp and turn up until the level sits where you want it. Nothing in the chain needs a battery or a power supply, which is why the pickup can live in a gig bag and be ready when the next set starts.

Doubling players get the most from it. A fiddle player who picks up a mandolin for two numbers can move one pickup between instruments rather than carry a second fitted system, and the clip is quick enough to move during a changeover.

The plug is a 6.5 mm jack, the usual instrument input on a guitar or bass amp, and the same size many recording interfaces expect; check your amp or interface has that socket before ordering, because the cable is fixed and there is no adapter in the pack.

Placement changes what the pickup hears, so expect to try a few spots on the body before you settle on the one that sounds right with your instrument. The pack is one pickup only, with a metal body and a 2.5 metre lead.
