The ISI Pickup

"Finally, let me just say that after several months of using your pick-up bridge on my 1969 Grawert hand made fiddle, I’m as happy as can be. It is a great pick-up, the best I’ve tried yet, and I’ve been trying them all since the Barcus-Berry T-bar transducer that we used to stick on our bridges with that grubby putty."

"Just wanted to let you know I’ve received the cable and gotten the bridge installed and everything sounds terrific! When I first tried it out I couldn’t believe the sound was coming out my amp — it sounded so much like my violin, only louder."

“I’ve been meaning to tell you again just how much I’ve enjoyed playing my violin with the pickup you installed – all the amplification issues I was having with feedback, tone problems, and unevenness of sound quality all went away, and I have this great time now with the sound. I feel like you are this treasure chest of knowledge from all your years of experience in developing just the right pickup, that the rest of us get to benefit from, and what a blessing it is to me! Thank you SO much for your integrity, attention to sound quality, and caring.”

“I used the pickup last Thursday night at a local restaurant where I play with a guitar player – the most natural sounding electric I have ever heard. I then used it with the VERY LOUD band (the fiftymen) that I play with and it was unbelievable – great natural sound, REALLY RICULOUSLY LOUD and no feedback problems at all – a completely new experience for me. I’ll be recommending to everyone I know that they replace their existing pickups and make the world a better place."

“The pickup is marvelous! I love it! It really conveys the true sound of the instrument with a rich , full sound. I am thrilled!”

“……..I love this pickup,and it’s by far the best I’ve ever used..”

This is a bridge pickup obviously created by working musicians. The replaceable upper portion of the bridge is a great idea. Mostly though, the response of the pickup is superior to any bridge that can be used acoustically.”

Your bridge pickup made my instrument so easy to play on the first gig I had with it tonight. The dynamic range and ability to solo high on the e string amaze me. For the first time the response is even across the strings. The color of the sound is deep and varied. Thank you so much!

Finally got pickup on today and was very pleased with the sound. It sounds exactly like my acoustic sound…only louder, which is what I wanted originally. None of the distortion or buzzing of other pickups. Will certainly recommend you to all, as others recommended you to me.

Hi Eric, Unbelievable, even the acoustic tone of my violin improved, the pickup sounds fabulous, it really sounds like my violin, very clear, all registers, it’s exactly the sound I want, which is the sound of my violin, imagine that! Thanks so much for making such a great pickup! …I just can’t stop playing! once more, this is so great, I almost want to cry, it’s like I discovered my sound!

I want to thank you again – this is the best pickup in the world. And your service is excellent. I all the time send my colleagues to your site.
