Fishman Classic Series C-100 Cello Pickup Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I needed a quick fix for live performance with my cello and this pickup was very affordable. Well, you get what you pay for. It works, but just barely. I had to run my cello through an EQ pedal to boost the signal, which got me there, but the recreation of the sound was a little off. The bass generally didn't resonate very well and I tended to have an issue with hum (a ground loop @ 60Hz that had to be eq'd out). I've since bought a Shadow SH 955 Nanoflex Pickup and haven't looked back. The Fishman gets the job done, but expect to have to boost your signal A LOT to use it live. I'm told the preamp Fishman sells as an accessory will solve all the problems I had, but for the cost of both of them you can get a Shadow pickup or another one of the competitors.

Low-profile Condenser Instrument Microphone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my third sax mic. This one is rugged enough to withstand the rigors of active movement on gigs. The bell clamps on the other two would fall off if lightly bumped while moving around on stage. They eventually died after being knocked around so many times. The Audio-Techica has a good ,solid bell clamp. The tonal quality is great! The only down side, if any, is it requires phantom power. That is not a problem for me , as all my mixers have phantom power, plus I have a pre-amp with phantom power that can be used with a mixer without a phantom power feature.
All in all a great mic for gigs.

Fishman V-200-M Professional Violin Pickup w/mini Mic Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this product new with the mini Mic not soldered onto the 1/4" jack. The customer support from Fishman was so difficult to deal with regarding this problem I had to pay a Fishman 3rd party repair person to fix the problem.
That said, the contact mic is decent but the mini Mic is practically useless and picks up almost no sound. A good contact mic and good preamp work just as well. I've used this pickup for classical, jazz, and rock styles- the contact mic helps when playing with drums or other loud instruments, but a functioning mini Mic would have made this product good for solo work as well.

Barcus Berry 3100 Clamp-On Bridge Violin Piezo Pickup Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm a guitar player, not a violinist, but I purchased this pickup for my daughter who has been playing violin for several years. I also run the sound board at our church and it's always been difficult to get the violin mic'd, so I thought I'd find a pickup suitable for violins. My first pick was a Fishman V100 Violin Pickup, which is similarly priced. Please learn from my lesson and avoid that product; the method for attaching it to the violin amounts to a zip tie that straps the jack to the tail-piece, not to mention that my unit failed to produce any sound once installed. The Barcus Berry is a great product. It installed securely to the violin in 10 minutes and it produced good tone, even through my guitar amp. In a nutshell, this product works!

Designed for violinists who need dependable performance without a permanently installed transducer. This piezo transducer clamps easily to the violin bridge and connects, via cable, to the included 3100P output jack. No holes to drill or tools required. The best of both worlds - ease of use plus wide-band frequency response, excellent string balance, feedback rejection and outstanding signal isolation.

Fishman Classic Series V-100 Violin Pickup Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I agree that attaching this type of pickup is awkward at best, but the quality of the sound is excellent for a pickup at this price (you really need a high quality microphone for true sound reproduction, which has its own issues). This price is very reasonable, but if you want to spend a little more Fishman also makes a model with a clamp-on 1/4" jack that I imagine is much easier to use.
