Since its origin, the violin has been passing throught many changes, not only on its shape but also on its way of playing. All these changes are an answer to the violin players need of a great and more reachable sound.

Nowadays, the amplification is essencial because the violin, besides its tradicional use in orquestras and small groups, is been used in other contexts as, for example, pop and heavy metal bands.

The pickups for acoustic violin, viola and cello that are on the market do their job, but not totally satisfactory. The Tuono pickups  are here to satisfy this growing search. 

The Tuono pickups are easily installed and come with a technical manual for better comprehention, besides the three months warranty against manufacture defects, when they are not caused for bad use. The Tuono pickups were developed and patented by the violin player Danilo Loyola Zolet.
