Fishman V-200 Professional Violin Pickup

It is exactly as expected!

This does exactly what I need it to do. I use it on an old German fiddle without a preamp and it works fine through the three different sound systems I've hooked into so far. It does a bit of weight to the instrument and dampens the sound a little bit, but that doesn't really matter since the sound is ultimately being amplified. I did have to sand down my bridge a bit to give the pickup enough room to slide into place. Other than that, installation was a breeze. It's not a huge hassle to put it on when I need it and take it off when I don't. The chinrest screw driver they include in the package is super tiny, but I keep a medium sized bent paperclip in my violin case so I've been using that instead. The construction is quality, no fiddly bits to break off. Glad I bought it! Edited 3/21/18: I recently purchased a Behringer V-Tone Acoustic Driver DI to improve the sound. While this pickup works without a preamp, I highly recommend getting one to improve the sound quality.

Works seamlessly with my viola. It was easy to install and I can now be heard over other instruments.

Excelente producto, es lo que esperaba, llegó antes de lo esperado. Ya instalado da un muy buen sonido, lo recomiendo 👍🎻

I got this as a backup for the same one I am using. Very satisfied. I can use it on my premium violin and remove it whenever I want when I play acoustic shows. Easy to put on and remove.
