## Overview

The Fishman V-200 Classic Series Violin Pickup features a piezo-ceramic element with a 1/4' output jack mounted via chinrest-style hardware, enabling easy, no-alteration installation. Lightweight at 6.7 ounces, it preserves natural playability while delivering clear amplified sound. Compatible with or without an impedance-matching preamp, it offers versatile, professional-grade performance for violinists seeking hassle-free amplification.

## Description

The same pickup element as the V-100, the V-200 employs a Carpenter-style, 1/4' output jack which mounts on the side of the instrument with chinrest-style hardware. An impedance-matching preamp is recommended, but not required. Easy installation with no alteration!

Review: I use it on an old German fiddle without a preamp and it works fine through the three different sound systems I've hooked into ... - This does exactly what I need it to do. I use it on an old German fiddle without a preamp and it works fine through the three different sound systems I've hooked into so far. It does a bit of weight to the instrument and dampens the sound a little bit, but that doesn't really matter since the sound is ultimately being amplified. I did have to sand down my bridge a bit to give the pickup enough room to slide into place. Other than that, installation was a breeze. It's not a huge hassle to put it on when I need it and take it off when I don't. The chinrest screw driver they include in the package is super tiny, but I keep a medium sized bent paperclip in my violin case so I've been using that instead. The construction is quality, no fiddly bits to break off. Glad I bought it! Edited 3/21/18: I recently purchased a Behringer V-Tone Acoustic Driver DI to improve the sound. While this pickup works without a preamp, I highly recommend getting one to improve the sound quality.
Review: Works well! Bridge may need minor alteration. - This pickup does the trick to get heard in my band. I pair it with the L.R. Baggs Acoustic DI and it sounds great. The only thing is I had to take it to a luthier to set it up because the bridge slot needed to be cut a tiny bit larger to get the transducer in there. But it wasn't an issue; he was able to install it perfectly. The fiddle is fine and the sound quality is great. Some people complain that it doesn't quite match "acoustic" quality. Yeah, good luck with that. As soon as you add any pickup, all acoustic sound is automatically lost anyway. I was between this and the L.R. Baggs violin pickup, but a professional at the music store I deal with explained that the Baggs has the pickup soldered to a separate bridge that you must use, and you must solder the other end yourself. And the problem is that if you mess up the bridge, you're typically out of luck since it is so permanently attached. In addition, the bridge that comes with the Baggs might need to be shaved down depending on how low you like it, and that must be done carefully or, again, you're out of luck. Too stressful. I'll stick with the simpler Fishman any day. It does everything I need it to do for a fair price and little hassle. Paired with a DI box, it sounds excellent.

This does exactly what I need it to do. I use it on an old German fiddle without a preamp and it works fine through the three different sound systems I've hooked into so far.
