Help! My Barbera Pickup Isn't Working Right!

- Barbera pickups are the fattest, most complex sounding pickups available for electric violin. They are not maintenance free, though. If you have a string that's not sounding properly, here's what you can do to fix it!
does Barnera pickup produce ground hum? Because my Viper does it from very first day
The pickup doesn't. It sounds like there's a grounding issue. I've experienced it from time to time. It could be in the instrument - but more likely in the system. It happened to me a lot when I was in Guatemala and dealing with pretty sketchy building power.
Can you tell about yamaha Evs 204 and 205 problems? Its the same..sometimes work perfect sometimes one string working in a down step.. why?
That's why they discontinued them. The bridges were notoriously unreliable.
There is an email to contact with you? I need a pickup for 4 strings wood violin right hand player

Hey guys, I tried the business card method, and I felt something like glue in the gap. I didn't dare to slide it through forcefully. Is it meant to be there to glue the cassette with the bridge? or I can just slide it through to clean it ? Thanks
There are some structures in there. You'll only want to go in about a centimeter or less.
Is it really a pickup, or a transducer? I once had a Fender 70's violin and that system was magnetic and you coulds non magnetic strings.
"Transducer" is a generic term for a device that changes one type of energy into another. A pickup is a transducer. A mic is a transducer. They convert sound energy into an electrical signal.
This has two piezo elements for each string. It changes physical vibrations into electrical signals. A magnetic pickup uses electromagnetism (a conductor moving in and out of a magnetic field) to generate an electrical signal.
The way a Fender pickup worked - to my understanding - was that the bridge actually moved in and out of the magnetic field inside the instrument. That's really a Ben Heaney question.
@@ElectricViolinShop If you have a copy of "Fender the Sound that Rocked the World," there is a page on the original Fender Violin with the patent drawing of that pickup. There is a two pole single coil pickup and a metal plate with the bridge on top. The metal plate has two metal poles that are close to the poles on the pickups and that's how the magnetic field gets it's signal. I purchsed a Cigar Box Humbucker and I have a Chinese electric violin that I might turn into a Frankenstien in the future using this principle.
Is this pickup available? If so, how much is it? Thank you
Barbera mostly only sells to manufacturers.
