Subject: RE: Tech: Fiddle Pick up
Hello, I am the Headway director and I am connected with the band as I invented it. I occasionally make them myself when we run out, which is too frequently and I am about to get the Viola & Cello versions back in stock, plus I have developed a miniature pre-amp which will enable an active Class "A" version using lithium coin cells, in future.

In addition, we've done a passive hot version, which was a prototype, rejected by us, but we've sold all 7 pcs sent out on trial and will be making more as Bristol Violin Shop loves them. It is less natural, but more powerful and present.

Also we are trying to get the highly acclaimed VL3 back in stock again, plus a greatly improved version of VL1, the simplified version of it (Active Bridge Based systems ).

We are also planning a separate firm doing electro-acoustic instruments, properly.

Anyway, if anyone wishes to enquire further, try me on: sales@headwayelectronics.com
www.@headwayelectronics.com

I play mando family instruments myself

Happy scraping!
