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.).
