The FISHMAN V-200 is the finest piezoelectric violin transducer available. It’s design is
based on that of the FISHMAN V-100 with the added benefits of the CARPENTER 1/4"
Output Jack.
The V-200 is a bridge mounted, piezo-ceramic pickup. It senses string vibrations via a
single piezo element, fastened to the instrument's wing slot with a patented floating
mount.
The V-200 installs in minutes, with only minor alterations required. Its low mass mini-
mizes any damping or muting that could affect the instrument's acoustic tone. The V-
200 provides a natural, acoustic sound for arco or pizz playing styles.
The CARPENTER JACK was designed by noted repairman Fred Carpenter. This profes-
sional-quality 1/4" violin pickup jack, molded into an attractive housing, attaches to the
lower bout with chinrest hardware. It makes a perfect mounting point for adding a micro-
phone and does not affect the instrument’s acoustic tone. It also makes it easy to use a
cable with a right angle plug. The CARPENTER JACK has become extremely popular
with many of today’s finest touring and session musicians.
