Amplify any viola or violin easily without modifications!

A compact, durable, and easy-to-install pickup system, "The Band" can electrify any violin without the need for modifications to the instrument itself.

The Band offers far greater volume levels before feedback, compared to mikes. And you can avoid being tied down to mike stands.

Headway's "The Band" further cuts feedback, bowing noise, body noise and excessive treble by acoustic filter.

The unique "Band" speeds sound checks.

Most importantly, it offers increased headroom (volume) before feedback, enabling problem free monitoring at modest to high volumes.

The Band wraps around the instrument under the strings and is firmly secured with two Velcro® hook-and-loop strips in a three-step process: 1. The end of "The Band" pickup tube is passed under the strings between the bridge and the tailpiece and wrapped around the narrow waist area. 2. The two ends of the tube are firmly wrapped around the back of the instrument and the Velcro® hook-and-loop tape is secured. 3. Another Velcro® hook-and-loop tape is wrapped around the first to provide added security. Black.

This pickup is the best invention ever. I had been real lenient about choosing a pickup to mount on my violin. But with the band, i don't have that worry. It's also convient to use the band on my other violins. I definitely recommend this to any violinist.

It took all of 30 seconds to strap this on an old, worn out, cracked fiddle. I plugged it into my practice amp and was completely shocked at how loud it was. I adjusted the volume a little and "The Band" made my fiddle sound absolutely great. I can't wait to use this at my next bluegrass gig.

Great Tone for the Price

Previously I used the Fishman piezo pickup that attaches to the bridge. I found this pickup to be tinny and to cause a lot of feedback when playing through amps. I was thus forced to play through PA's, and even then I sometimes got feedback. 'The Band' on the other hand provides a warm tone and generates practically no feedback. Now I can play my acoustic through my Alessandro Boxer tube amp, rather having to use my Zeta. It is quite easy to use, just slap it on and you're ready to go. The only draw back is that if you have a large shoulder pad it might get in the way. I use the original Kun and have no problems. IMO avoid the piezo pickups and spend the extra money for this guy.
