The LR Baggs violin pickup features a miniature vibration transducer cast right into the bridge. The transducer is designed to accept the tone-rich left/right movement of the bridge resulting from natural string vibrations, reject feedback, eliminate scratchy nasal sounds, and trace the natural sound of the instrument without affecting its tone. The L.R. Baggs Violin Pickup has set the standard since its inception over a decade ago, and it is the top choice of more top pros -- including Alison Krauss, Michael Doucet, Darol Anger, Jean-Luc Ponty -- than any other pickup. The pickup is a miniature vibration transducer cast directly into an Despau Two Tree bridge for maximum sensitivity. For larger violas, use item LRA100.
