Product Description
Headway's The Band Violin Pickup Sytem gives you a compact, durable, and easy-to-install pickup capable of providing electric amplification for your violin or viola without the need for any destructive modifications to the instrument itself. The benefits of The Band are many: You'll get far greater volume levels before feedback compared to using a microphone. In addition to cutting feedback, The Band reduces bowing noise and body sounds and gives you the ability to filter out excessive treble. Thanks to The Band violin and viola pickup you'll have more freedom to use the stage when you're no longer tied down to your microphone stand during performances. Just think how much faster you'll get through sound checks with this unique band-shaped pickup on your violin or viola! The increased headroom (volume) before feedback offered by The Band pickup enables you to monitor your violin without problems from modest to high volumes. The Band wraps around your violin under the strings and is firmly secured with 2 Velcro® hook-and-loop strips in a 3-step process: 1. Pass the end of The Band pickup tube under the strings between the bridge and the tailpiece and wrap it around the violin's waist. 2. Strap the 2 ends of the tube firmly around the violin's back and secure with the provicded Velcro® strip. 3. Wrap the other provided Velcro® tape is around the first to provide additional security for the mounted pickup. Headway's The Band instant pickup works equally well on violins and violas and is covered with a stylish black material that will not detract from your instrument's appearance.

Violin Pickup
By DJ
The Praise Team has Violinists that alternate from time to time. "The Band for Violin", by Headway, is easy to move from one Violin to another and has proven to be 100% dependable for the nearly two years since the first pickup was placed in service. Inclusive of a "The Band for Cello", there are now four pickups in use on a regular basis. The passive, unbalanced, output from "The Band" is at a high enough level to take such directly into a Passive "Imp DI Box" and then take the Balanced Low Impedance Signal into a microphone input on the Mix-Board. With 150' of cable from the Violin to the Mix-Board there are no noise or signal loss problems. If a Violinist needs mobility, we take the output from "The Band" directly into a Sennheiser EW100, EW300 or EW500 Body Pack. Last but not least, the tone quality of "The Band" is nothing less than phenominal! Once you try it, you will love it.

I don't often play plugged in, so this is a good device for occasional live work with a band. I don't have wide experience with pickups, so I have no real point of comparison, but this one amplifies well and does the job, mixing well with two electric guitars, bass, drums.
