Thread Name: Best pickup for a fiddle?
Subject: RE: Best pickup for a fiddle?
I use the Headway 'The Band'.
I did loads of research before buying. It has 3 microphones that rest against the body of the violin, and is attached with velcro. No wind noise when playing outside, no bow hiss, and I NEVER get any feedback. It's literally just plug and play. And the beauty is that I can usi it on both my fiddles - 2 for the price of 1
Cost me £120 from Hobgoblin in Leeds but worth every penny. Was watching Seth Lakeman on TV about a week ago, and noticed that he's using the Band too.
