"bad sound..."
I've been owninig it for years but now I am looking for an electric violin.
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.
Features
Be prepared for feedbacks that occur when you put this kind of pick up on acoustic violin.
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.
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:-)

"Didn't fit and can't return"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This did not even come close to fitting in the wing slot of my violin, and zZounds apparently has in fine print somewhere that they cannot return pickups if you have opened it up, but what other way was I to tell if it fit? Out of 110 dollars.
