Acoustic Instrument Pickups
The Fishman revolution got its start with acoustic instrument pickups. Larry Fishman's first product to market was the BP-100 acoustic bass pickup, which was created to solve his own personal amplification needs as a jazz bassist. Larry's drive to make himself heard while retaining an incredible tone carries over in Fishman products for the violin family, banjo, mandolin, harp/piano and more.

Fishman V100 Violin and Viola Pickup Reviews
6 out of 10
"bad sound..."
Feature:
Be prepared for feedbacks that occur when you put this kind of pick up on acoustic violin.
Quality:
It is quite good, only there is a plastic one-way "tighter" that is difficult to release but since you will be doing the job of setting up the bridge it sure won't mind to you:-)
Sound:
The sound is quite bad, but it is not Fishman's fault. It's because a piezzo in bridge will always sound scratchy. I have to equalize a lot which of course distorses the sound that comes to other effects.
Ease of Use:
It is quite easy to insert it in the bridge but you'll have to probably make the gap of the bridge bigger. You'll also make a node from cable on the shoulder support so that the jack never fall out.
Support:
Never contacted them
Overall:
I've been owninig it for years but now I am looking for an electric violin.
