Fishman originally built its reputation by developing pickups that literally changed the way acoustic stringed instruments were heard and experienced in live performance situations. Now the company is pleased to introduce a new line of premium pickups for Violin, Viola, and Cello at Winter NAMM.

A result of Fishman's special expertise in the field, an intensive R&D effort spearheaded by company founder Larry Fishman, and today's most sophisticated transducer technologies, these new pickups offer an extraordinary level of performance, tone quality and accuracy for stringed instruments.

The new piezo-ceramic Concert Series pickups for Violin (V-300), Viola (V-400) and Cello (V-200) are preinstalled in a high quality Despiau bridge to provide the ultimate performance in terms of a precise and perfectly balanced tone from string to string.

In addition to an exceptionally clear, true and natural tonal response that reveals the true character of the instrument, these new pickups sound remarkably consistent every time they are played.

The new stringed instrument pickups are also optimized for use with the Fishman Aura Imaging Pedals to provide a higher level of sound quality and added sonic versatility in live performance. Violin, Viola, and Cello pickups include a Carpenter jack.

An impedance-matching preamp for these pickups is recommended, but not required.

The new V-300, V-400 and C-200 pickups are available now all priced at £199 RRP inc VAT.  Professional installation is required.
