The Korena take
KNA’s VC-1 is a passive cello pickup with a lightweight, wood-encased piezo sensor.

With no battery, power source, or permanent alteration required, the VC-1 provides a direct setup for sending your cello’s signal to an amplifier or mixing board while retaining its acoustic character.
