## 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 fir

Review: Five Stars - le meilleur pick-up pour violon
Review: You need an additional effects to maximize it - I rated it 5 because so far it's the closest thing to the original sound that you can get. I did an a/b testing of the sound from the band compared to my violin sound recorded using a condenser mic 1.5 feet away from my violin and the results were around 4/5 to 4.5/5 compared to the original sound. The sound that came out from the band is sort of like having 2 round tourte style mute on 1) G and D string and 2) A and E string. So in short the sound is there and the wholeness of the vibration of the body sound is there but somewhat a bit muted for my taste. I guess this would be the effect of the "band" around the body. This is where the additional effects come in. First you need to have a pedal with an EQ. You need to roll off around 150Hz to avoid the body handling noise. Also as stated in their manual you can try cutting 800 - 950Hz then do the same for 2kHz - 5kHz. Next is you need to have reverb. This depends on your taste. Add delay also if you want. The goal that I tried doing on my a/b test was make my acoustic violin with the headway band on it sound exactly the same or as close as I can get to my acoustic violin without the headway band on a condenser mic. So the setting that I got is a setting built for my violin only. I got it to sound right in the end just by using EQ. The sound was just like the original. After that I added reverb and delay. So why would I pick this instead of the piezo pickups and other pickups you need to place in your violin? Well my answer would be simply because: 1. I don't want installing something in my violin that would scratch it. The band does not scratch your violin. 2. I don't want installing something that would be hard to remove when later I choose to go full acoustic. With the band, you just remove it just like that. 3. I want the full body sound. Let's face it, plain pick ups just sound flat, too much on the treble, etc. The sound you get from the band is how your violin really sound but with a mute. You can correct this by having effects. 4. Feedback. This is so far the best pick up out there with little or no feedback at all. The only problem I think many of its users is the velcro losing it's grip. Well you can always clean it up or just get a new velcro and cut the same way Headway did it. Remove the old one then replace with your newly cut velcro. So you might ask what I used as effects? I went for Zoom A2 in the beginning. Perfect sound. It also has anti feedback and all the works. Now I sold it and got myself a Zoom A3. I'll do the a/b test again and see how it goes. :)

### ⭐ Creates a Terrible and Disturbing sound
*by K***N on 26 April 2026*

Maybe ok for a cheap violin , but strangles the vibrations of a good one while emitting a weird echo-like amplification. I returned it. A stand up mike works much better.
