Baggs

Short description:
L.R. Baggs manufactures transducers for a wide range of accoustic intstruments, including violins. The pickup is a miniature vibration transducer cast directly into an Aubert #7 Mirecourt maple bridge for maximum sensitivity and signal transfer. It is designed to accept the tone-rich left/right movement of the bridge, reject feedback, eliminate scratchy nasal sounds, and trace the natural sound of the instrument. As an integral part of the bridge, it effortlessly captures the instrument's inherent dynamics.
The L.R. Baggs Violin Pickup is used by a number of top players, including Alison Krauss, Michael Doucet, Darol Anger, Jean-Luc Ponty.

Transducers:
The Baggs pickup uses a single transducer to capture the sound off every string, but the sound is very well balanced.
