Don't worry! The application in the photo is not necessary for installation! There is no need to drill a hole in your violin! The wire can simply be routed under the tailpiece. No permanence with these pickups!

The L.R. Baggs violin pickup system is the top choice of more top pros including Natalie MacMaster and Leahy, Alison Krauss, Michael Doucet, Darol Anger, Jean-Luc Ponty, to name a few.

The LR Baggs Violin Pickup features a miniature vibration transducer cast right into a top quality Aubert no.7 Mirecourt maple bridge for maximum sensitivity and signal transfer.

The transducer is designed to accept the tone-rich left/right movement of the bridge in response to the strings vibrating. The transducer also rejects any impulse directed to the plane of the bridge, minimizing annoying finger squeaks, body noise and feedback. As an integral part of the bridge, it effortlessly captures the instrument's inherent dynamics.

In other words, it sounds like an acoustic violin and no icky noises come through as with cheaper pickups. It still sounds just like your violin, with all the warmth and subtleties of playing in a small room, but only louder! And the best part is it will not affect the tone of your instrument.

The L.R. Baggs Violin Pickup features unprecedentedly consistent performance and each unit is quality tested and carries a one year warranty. 4/4 size violin only, though these can be cut down to fit a 3/4 if necessary.

Installation Info

It is important to note that this pickup comes already mounted into a top quality bridge and is not ready out of the box to be used. It is not the kind you wedge into your existing bridge.

Therefore, the bridge must be fitted by a qualified luthier to match the unique profile of your violin. It's a small step towards having the best possible amplified sound you can get from your acoustic!
