with separate transducers for each string.

Barbera Transducer Systems is a specialized company devoted to the development and production of the finest quality multi-transducer bridges available for violin, electric violins, upright bass and cello. Our approach to making high end pickups is through a combination of musical instrument craftsmanship, innovative electro acoustic design concepts and precision production techniques. It is our belief that a truly professional pickup system should be a fine musical instrument component in its own right. We've been making, custom quality transducers and pickups for violin, electric violins, cellos, and upright basses since 1986.

Barbera Multi-Transducer Bridges for acoustic and electric violins, acoustic and electric cellos, and upright basses are for the discriminating performer who wants the very best amplified sound possible for their musical expression.

Through their advanced design and construction, Barbera multi-transducer pickups provide full range, high fidelity sound quality. They bring tonal richness, focused clarity, balance and power of projection to an instrument's amplified voice. These are qualities which enhance the experience of performing, allowing the player to relax and focus on creating music, while comfortably projecting their sound without having to struggle to be heard.
