Fishman PROV100VI V-100 Classic Series Violin/Viola Pickup
Style:Violin/Viola Pickup
This piezo-ceramic pickup mounts in the wing slot of the violin bridge with Fishman's patented Floating Mount System. Lightweight to minimize muting, it includes a mini jack which mounts to the tailpiece. A 10' 1/8' to 1/4...
I, on the other hand, didn't and had to relocate the banjo's top rimrod and modify the pickup mounting bracket just to get it to clear the banjo's head
So much better than the K&k banjo twin, which made my $2,000+ banjo sound like a $50 banjo
Easily the best banjo pickup I've ever ran across

I was hoping to be able to install it myself, but when they say they recommend professional installation, they're not kidding - it was beyond the scope of my knowledge and the tools I have, so I had it done at a local shop
Installation is tough, there are no instructions in the box, you have to hunt for them online.

I agree that attaching this type of pickup is awkward at best, but the quality of the sound is excellent for a pickup at this price (you really need a high quality microphone for true sound reproduction, which has its own issues).

But I found that when used in conjunction with a mute I got a nice electric violin sound, and that I got a very smooth and pleasing sound running it into a Fender tube amp, whereas cheap SS guitar amps brought out the worst

I love the pre amp, which I still use
However in most situations where you'd need serious amplification the venue would already be set up with a good pre-amp, so it shouldn't really be an issue unless you plan on doing home-recording
