Fishman originally built its reputation by developing pickups that literally changed the way acoustic stringed instruments were heard and experienced in live performance situations.

Now the company introduces a new line of premium pickups for Violin, Viola, Cello, Mandolin and Resophonic Spider-style guitar.

I'm intersted in using available effects pedals to alter the overall waveform of the electric violins sound. In short, making it sound like a different instrument. The waveform the violin makes is rather jagged while say a french horn is smoother with less overtones. Is there a way to "smooth" out the violins waveform such that it can sound more "horn" like?

hi friends,
does anybody from you know any kind of a midi converter to connect a violin to midi ? but not zeta because it s tooo expansiv !!!
thank you

The StringAmp is in a transducer class of its own and works on the principle of magnetic induction.
StringAmp is the only maker of a stringed instrument pickup using this unique principle, where the String ITSELF is used as the pickup, making it a direct path to the amplified sound.
The advantages are:

Features:

• A two-piece electromagnetic humbucking pickup.

• Freely adjustable.

• Allows adjustment to the individuallities of the instrument like form of bridge and position of strings.

• Very low risk of feedbacks (means: sympathetic feedback like on electric guitar - absolutely no nasty piezo feedbacks).

Peter Knight & Ian CutlerWent to the first 'SPANFEST' folk festival, hosted by legendary British Folk/Rock band Steeleye-Span. Set in the grounds of a Tudor House, event attracted probaby a few thousand festival goers. Most of Britains best Known fiddle players supported the event.

Ruth Angell & Jo Hamilton30 miles away the annual Cambridge Folk Festival was also happening, which must have affected some of the artists/usual folk festival goers. Phil Beer of 'Show of Hands' & Feast of Fiddles didnt attend, for one. Cambridge is our biggest folk event but ive no regrets about supporting this one. It is very similar to Fairport Convention's Cropready Festival. I prefer the setting of this festival, the medieval house & grounds. A lot of fiddle players in various bands, including Morris Dancers.

Hi Electricfiddler.

I'm on a skeleton type 4 string electric, through my Peavey tnt130 bass combo amplifier, which may be of interest, because it can take half a lifetime to find an appropriate sound, mellow, but with enough bite for rock an roll. The pa is some multi kilowatt affair, with an engineer at the desk, but dunno what he's done with the mix. Bass and guitar were through house backline,and I'm not miked through the pa, as is my habit.
