Questions & Answers

Is this a 3100p or 3120p picture?

This model has a resolution of 3100p.

Is the bridge connected to the 1/4" jack directly or does it plug in?

The mother-in-law bridge was wired into a mother-in-law bridge. The violin corpus has a jack attached to it. From here, an ordinary kithara cable can be used to connect the violin to any type of amplifier.

Is this instrument made in China, because it isn't for me, and they don't want it made in China?

First and foremost, this item is not an instrument; it is an Electric Violin Bridger pickup with a built-in Piezo, not a violin. The product title on Amazon is incorrect; this item was made in the United States.

Selected User Reviews For Barcus Berry, 1-String Electric Violin (1320)

The pickup is excellent, and the price is very reasonable
5/5

LR Baggs products are my favorites, but Barcus Berry hasn't disappointed me yet. So far, I've purchased two of these, and they're just as good as the baggs I selected. What I like best about the BB 1320 is that it costs about $50 less than the baggs for essentially the same functionality. What's even better is that you get the exact same tone (in my opinion). Now, I'm not saying you shouldn't buy the baggs because they're good; they're just a little more expensive. However, if you want to save a few dollars while still getting excellent sound and tone, this product will suffice. This is how I see it: For nearly four decades, Charlie Daniels has played BB fiddles. To sum it up, if you pair this pickup with a good acoustic preamp or an acoustic amp, you will not be disappointed.

In a Worship Setting, it's especially lovely
5/5

After years of using a microphone for the violin, I asked the violinist if she wanted to "electrify" her instrument. The sound quality is excellent. Not only does it have a lovely natural sound, but it also sounds great when processed with effects (mostly delay and reverb). Please keep in mind that this is a "rough" bridge that will need to be fitted to your violin. The work was done by a nearby shop. Just be aware that unless you are experienced in this field, this will increase the cost. In conclusion - The sound is fantastic for all of us (the violinist, the band, and the worshipers).

1320 Barcus Berry These items aren't thrown around by the pros for no reason

It's the pick up to have; I've got one on each of my three fiddles, and they're fantastic.

This is a fantastic product with a fantastic price! There were no instructions included with my unit
3/5

To install it properly, you'll need to do some soldering and a little woodworking. If it were possible, I would take it to a Luther. I enjoy the tonality, especially when it comes to Celtic, Cajun, Jazz, and Bluegrass music.
