A great pickup

For the last few years, I've been using a Pick-up the World piezo pickup. I can't speak highly enough of this pickup. The sound is clear and balanced, rejection of ambient noise is great, and best of all, it allows full acoustic use of my violin.

Here's what the installation looks like:
The PUTW pickup is a very thin piezoelectric film which fits underneath one foot of the bridge:
Installation tip: To prevent buzzing where the cable touches the top of the violin, I wrapped a bit of gaffer tape around the cable, then placed a small piece from an old sock under the cable. Note that the fabric is not attached to anything; the springiness of the cable is more than enough to hold it in place.

This pickup can be ordered from the manufacturer's web site: http://www.pick-uptheworld.com/.
