Hello there, that's the cello's fine tuner.

Yes, you are allowed to use it. This piezo was not to my liking. It is of poor quality, with a poor caption. My cello is played on a Roland KC-80. I'm happy to pay $150 for a keyboard.
Selected User Reviews For KNA VC-1 Portable Piezo Pickup for Cello
non-removable and easily removable long-term This was a pick-up I made. up to improve live sound (along with a Fishman Loudbox Mini amp) and allow for some looping and pedal experimentation. We've used it in more live situations than we expected because it sounds good - Even when the cello was mic'd up at a charity performance to beef up the low end, he blended it in. br>br>Most importantly, we needed something we could install/remove ourselves, knowing that it would only be on a 3/4 rental cello for a short time. It has made me very happy.
I bought it for my daughter so we wouldn't have to use a front mic when playing with the church band, and it works great; I was able to lower the mix gain for the cello from 38 to 27, which is a significant difference. Random noise from the environment is picked up much less. When playing the cello, it is possible to move the instrument around. It's simple to put together and doesn't get in the way while you're playing. Overall, a great and affordable product; my daughter simply leaves it on all the time, even when she is not using an amp.
This pickup was very simple to put together and take apart if necessary. I simply leave the pickup in place because it has no effect on the sound. In comparison to my previous pickup, the sound quality is excellent. I haven't compared it to the Realist pickup, but it's a great pickup. It sends out a powerful signal with a lot of bass. I use it with a preamp to give me more control over the tone.
This pickup performs admirably and is built to remain stationary. When connected directly to an amplifier, the sound quality is excellent. You can also use a cord to run through a pedal and experiment with various distortions! It's a lot of fun to play with a loud band, and it's very useful!.
With the addition of amplification (which is essential for any piezo type pickup) and EQ, this pickup becomes a more affordable option while still producing excellent tone. I gave it four stars because I believe it was once less expensive.
It fell apart after only two months. After only a few uses, a wire in the device became disconnected.
I'm very dissatisfied with it, to tell you the truth. I'm going to go with a Realist. This one isn't as good as the cello, but it's still good. I tried a few different cello positions but couldn't get a good sound out of them. I'm going to sell it because I don't think my cello can handle this kind of gear.
It's perfect for my daughter's cello. It's plugged into a soundboard and used to play with a small band, and the sound quality is excellent.
