    • Great audio quality
Extremely good audio quality. I can't discern the difference between the acoustic sound and amplified sound.

Review Image by Anna Crawford Anna Crawford
I have been playing fiddle for dances for a few years now and find it tiring and distracting to play into a microphone and to try to maintain a constant distance from it. I went to the J.C Campbell Folk School for a week-long workshop for dance musicians and had, for the first time, the experience of having a pickup put on my fiddle when I went on stage. All of the sudden, I just didn’t have to think about the mic anymore and I loved it. I recently did a google search and learned about the various pickups that are available and decided that this was the one I wanted, in part because I really like the sound of my instrument (a ~100-year-old "Hopf") and wanted something that would capture it. I was concerned about the possibility that the battery might die suddenly at an awkward moment and emailed Gregg Myers to ask about that. He responded quickly and said that the battery can last for hundreds of hours and will fade slowly over period of several hours, that I would begin to notice a loss of gain in the preamp and that that will be the time to change the battery. It’s nice to have some idea what to expect in terms of battery life (I really had no idea) and particularly to know that it will not die suddenly. I purchased the pickup a few weeks ago and started experimenting with it. I fed it into my 35 watt Kustom amp and it sounded great. I put it inside the “F” hole of the fiddle and found that sounded too much like an echo chamber and settled on the configuration shown on the Myers website, with the mic at the lower end of the “treble” “F” hole. This makes it sound like the fiddle I know. I have to say that I had some trouble with mounting the “Feather” on my tailpiece and would recommend that violin players consider the “Grip/Clamp” model as the more appropriate choice designed specifically for them. I was not comfortable with either the saddle clip (didn’t seem secure enough on the tailpiece and couldn’t get it to not touch the top of the instrument when clipped to the tailpiece) or the feather clip as constructed. I found a solution for me which involved reducing an additional fine tuner to just the threaded cylinder and a nut under the tailpiece, removing the alligator clip from the feather clip and using the added fine tuner to hold the feather clip, mounting it in the tailpiece a little closer to the end pin than a "French eye" might be placed. It resulted in a very secure and unobtrusive mounting system. For myself, I think I made the right decision to get the “Feather” rather than the “Grip” because I like the fact that the preamp module is on my belt, not on the instrument where I can see it. Because not everyone would be comfortable modifying parts in this way, I will say again that violin players should consider the “Grip/Clamp” because it was designed specifically for that application. The new pickup had its first night out just this weekend playing for a family contra dance and did great. It helped make many smiles (including one on me). ... show more

    • Amazing tone, fully captures my violin & other instruments!
After experimenting with a Yamaha electric violin through the years as a way to amplify my sound, I became fed up with the tinny, dull tone of it and began to look for ways to grab that full-body violin sound of my acoustic. I had noticed a stark difference in tone from playing my electric in gigs with my band to playing my acoustic in the Georgia Tech Chamber Orchestra. I found myself being more and more drawn to my acoustic's sound. Though I've seen new acoustic violins being made these days with an output jack for an amp, that would be a very expensive upgrade for someone on an engineering student's budget. My acoustic violin was made in the 1920's, and it was a given to me as a gift from my grandfather. I just couldn't bring myself to play acoustic on anything else. So, I began to look for ways to electrify its sound to make sure I can be heard when I play with my bandmates on drums, electric guitar, and bass. This led me to discover electric conversion kits that you can buy to replace the bridge and give a quarter inch output. They use a type of piezoelectric pickup directly on the bridge, and thus you'd have to replace the bridge to play in an orchestral setting again because wires dangling around your bridge while you're playing Tchaikovsky is the last thing you want to worry about. Then I discovered the Feather. After doing many web searches and reading a lot of reviews, I found this Myers Feather pickup to be the most highly rated and most flexible to use. It just attaches right to the tailpiece of my acoustic, and I position the mic where I'd like it. Then, after I'm done playing, I just detach the mic and my violin is back to normal for orchestra playing! Then there's the sound. My Yamaha lacks the body and fullness that this pickup can grab off my acoustic. It's like night and day. If you're looking for a way to most practically replicate your acoustic's sound without permanently changing your instrument, you've found it! What's an added bonus is this pickup isn't tied to a specific instrument type. I've been trying to learn some Bluegrass music on mandolin, and I can attach this pickup to that too! Now I've got an electric mandolin! My girlfriend plays cello, and letting her use this when we play music for church is MUCH easier than trying to get a vocal mic to work. I highly recommend this Feather, and the creator Gregg Myers stands by all of his products. I was in your shoes, reading review after review, trying to find the BEST pickup. Let this be your decision point, if it's suited my varied needs, it will definitely suit yours! ... show more

    • O ring nightmare
Although the sound quality is wonderful. The reason I bought the unit was to use the micro clip but it’s impossible to get the wire o ring to stay on the rubber o ring, it just pushes it around. No amount of squeezing will release the wire enough to get the rubber o ring under it. This giving you 0% chance for it to stay on the instrument. If you can figure that part out, ,]more power to you. ... show more

    • Great Customer Service
As stated by so many others, it is a well-made pickup with excellent sound quality to go along with ease of setting up. The thing that impressed me most is how quickly I got a response to a customer service question, late on the Friday afternoon of a holiday weekend. I asked my question when I did so I wouldn't forget to do it, not expecting a response until Tuesday, to my surprise I received an answer within 15 minutes. My issue was resolved immediately & they couldn't have been nicer about it. I would highly recommend Myers, both for the quality of their pickup & the quality of their customer service. ... show more
