Stephan Schertler's classic transducer and first product, the STAT pick-up established his reputation for innovation. First introduced in 1986, today thousands of musicians throughout the world depend on the STAT transducer.


The patented Schertler STAT-V electrostatic bridge pick-up for violin and viola stands out for its high feedback resistance and for delivering an impressive bridge tone without the harshness or distortion of piezo pick-ups. Located under the high string in the bridge wing cut-out, STAT-V delivers a direct and punchy sound.


Unlike shrill or metallic piezo pick-ups, STAT-V accurately reproduces the warm sound of your strings. The bottom of the violin/viola sound is impressively reproduced with all its depth and body, while the highs are clear and bright.


The STAT-V is the choice for a loud musical environment. It represents the ideal system for rock, fusion and jazz players where high amplifier levels must not present a handicap.


The standard STAT-V Set includes pick-up, cable and the battery-powered STAT-PRE preamplifier with volume control.
