Fishman Violin/Viola Pickup V-200

This is a more stable & professional installation than the Fishman V-100. A "Carpenter" jack attaches to the side of the violin like a chin rest, and takes a standard 1/4 inch cable. The patented "Floating Mount" system does not diminish the sound of the instrument, and mounts into the wing slot of the bridge. Paired with a good acoustic amplifier, the V-200 provides good, even tone across all four strings. Through some amplifiers, or if you're going direct to the board, tone on the high end can be a bit harsh. Consider adding a preamp to ensure optimal tone from the V-100 under those conditions. Violists need to purchase a pair of Fishman Viola barrels as well. Uses standard 1/4" instrument cable, available separately.
