The Strados pickup system is a proprietary technology developed by Zeta in cooperation with Stanford University. This patented bridge pickup system is the heart of the Zeta Strados violins, violas, cellos, and basses providing a warm, rich, distinctive electric/acoustic string tone.
Violins & Violas | Cellos | Basses
Each of the "signature" Strados bridge support "fingers" of the violin and viola pickups dedicate dual piezo pickups to each individual string. Responding to the flex of the pickup "finger" rather than the vibration sensitivity common to most piezo and transducer pickup systems, the Strados pickup is able to respond with a true electric-acoustic string tone that is resistant to the sound vibrations that cause feedback at high volume levels. The special black composite construction of the Strados bridge pickup allows for maximum string sensitivity and pickup gain, resulting in a beautiful electric-acoustic tone with warmth and clarity even at high mega-stage amplification levels.
Zeta's proprietary internal active preamp system increases the power of the pickup signal from each individual string, leading to separate internal gain controls to provide for even string balance. This state-of-the-art system delivers a wide range of amplification flexibility, supporting a variety of tonal characteristics adaptable to diverse playing techniques and styles of music. An internal 9-volt battery provides over 1,000 hours of service on average.
Individual string digital outputs allow the use of each string as a separate MIDI channel through the Synthony for maximum MIDI controller capabilities. Access software notation programs and MIDI applications, using the Strados Modern Violin as a MIDI controller.
Whether used as an analog pickup or a digital MIDI pickup in conjunction with the Zeta Synthony II MIDI Controller / Synthesizer (sold separately), the Strados pickup system provides clarity of string tone without feedback.

Zeta’s patented Strados piezo pickup system provides a warm, rich electric-acoustic cello tone. The distinctive Strados "L"-shaped bridge support "fingers" dedicate dual pickups to each individual string. Responding to the flex of the "L" rather than the vibration sensitivity of common piezo and transducer pickup systems, the Strados cello pickup is able to respond with a true acoustic-electric string tone that is resistant to the sound vibrations that cause feedback at high volume levels.
The special black composite construction of the Strados cello bridge pickup allows for maximum string sensitivity and pickup gain, resulting in a beautiful acoustic/electric tone with warmth and clarity even at high stage-amplification levels.
