- Hello ! This my in depth review of the Schertler electromagnetic transducer pickup Stat-V and it's Stat Pre. I hope this will help you to make a decision on your next pickup or microphone purchase!
Cheers everyone,
Stay creative and think outside the box. That's the key!

Disclaimer: I'm part of the Schertler ambassador program, but have in mind that all of my comments, grades etc...are my honest experience and opinion about the product. I'm not sugar coating any of it!
I use this Schertler Stat-V exclusively and find that if you shave off the bridge "wing" under the e string judiciously and shave (sand) the cork at the pick-up head exactly, that the amount of "wing" that is removed does not change the sound (I have used it on my 18th century italian violin). I wouldn't hack off the wing completely as this is not necessary. A tight and snug fit is all that is required. If you rotate the pickup to another fiddle with a different bridge opening you may have to shave the cork and add more cork (available thru Schertler) but do not remove all of the original cork. Also, this pickup works with just about any pre-amp but the Schertler Yellow Preamp has a 150 hz and 220 hz cut button that helps with the bow change snap sounds (you may have to take more care when amped with this). The Stat Pre offers a more rounded sound with a little less detail so I use this only as a back up. All in all I haven't found anything better that this!
I must say I have yet to hear a violin bridge pickup that I like the sound of out of the box but you did make it sound much better with eq and fx and great playing

Hi David... great video ! could I ask you to elaborate please on what you are using for your effects...I'd love to get my fiddle sounding like this.. thank you in advance !
David, the sound that we hear, is coming out of your computor/Mac speakers correct?
Thank you for your review. you saved me 540 euros
I listened carefully the Stat-V sound. Very warm and deep bass, clean and transparent. A little less realistic in the treble, probably due to the limited frequency response (12Khz). Overall it's a great pickup. Ps: congratulations on your performances!
Right on Vince! The fact the high freq are shelves that much is helping the sound to be that warm. Most time we cut a lot of the 18khz and above in the mix anyways. It's indeed a great pickup option! Thanks a lot for your kind words man. Cheers!
You would never want to amplify 12kHz+ 😂 unless you want your ears to bleed.
is this right? this pickup sounds a bit like if muffled?
and what FX pedal on min 9.28? Thanks
Too much hight frequencies as always in this type of pickups
😢 je déteste ce son
