Been looking at this company http://www.barberatransducers.com who make acoustic-electric violins. Does anyone have any info and can anyone make head or tail of the different bridges on offer? Thanks.
Barbera have two designs one for solid bodied and one for acoustic bodied violins. Then you have a choice of how many pickups per string. The bridges are very thick and they aim to generate violin type resonance within the bridge! Not low cost.
I take a more traditional approach with Sonic Violins.
