ISI Aceto/Violect Deluxe Pickup for Cello, unterminated (unwired jack included)

Ithaca Stringed Instruments luthier Eric Aceto has a long-standing reputation for excellent amplified tone. The Aceto/Violect Deluxe pickup is a redesign of his revered standard pickup, with a narrower foot width and more solid structure in order to faithfully preserve the character and projection of your acoustic instrument. The result is a pickup that provides an amplified tone that's impressively close to the sound of your acoustic violin, but has practically zero effect on the acoustic sound of your instrument when you play “unplugged.”

The ISI Aceto/Violect Deluxe cello pickup provides exceptional amplified tone, with negligible effect on your instrument's acoustic sound.

The ISI Deluxe pickup is built in two pieces, allowing for precise placement of the pickup elements. Separate piezoelectric sensors (one each for the treble and bass feet) are built into the base of the bridge, and the top portion secured by mortise and tenon, using only well-aged Bosnian maple and high quality bridge blank. This gives the Aceto/Violect Deluxe cello Pickup its more solid structure, without compromising either the amplified or the acoustic tone of your cello.

Like all permanent/bridge replacement pickups, the Aceto/Violect Deluxe cello pickup must be properly fitted to your cello. In order to get the most from your Aceto cello pickup, we recommend having it fitted by a trained professional.

Jack wiring options

This version of the ISI Deluxe cello Pickup is unterminated, but includes a 1/4" Carpenter jack. If you would like us to solder the pickup to the Carpenter jack for you we can do so for an additional $15 charge. The reason it comes unterminated is because that makes it somewhat easier for your luthier to fit the feet of the bridge to the unique curvature of your instrument before attaching the jack with soldering. Please make that selection before adding to cart.
