"Our Cellist played on The
Cello Band last week on concert. It has a really fantastic sound
that we have never heard before. A Barcus Berry bridge PU is
fitted to the Cello now, so we could compare the sounds easy.
Headway's sound is much better, more balanced between different
strings( no "boomy" at lower freq range) no distortion and
really sensitive for dynamics. So it's excellent, the best
choice. Our sound
engineer was really happy to do the monitor mix very easy
without feedback, just he had to cut mid range at 800Hz-1kHz to
reduce the 'box and tube sound', that's all.
Do you plan to making same type of system for guitars? It would
be great!"

"I
used 'The Band' acoustic pickup on Cello, for two outdoor gigs this weekend and
was delighted with its performance. Set-up was easy and quick.
Unlike other mic systems I've used, there was no noise from the
wind. The tone was warm and even with no boominess or sensitive
spots."
- Margie Dally, USA.
"I
own a music shop located in Liege, Belgium. A few days ago, we bought your TheBAND acoustic violin pickup from your BeNeLux distributor,
Mr. Ron Houben.
We are very pleased with this product and decided with Mr.
Houben to find a popular violinist in Belgium who could give a
good image of your product to other players.

I took delivery of a Band fiddle pickup on Tuesday to replace a feedback prone Microvox (Condenser Mic)
and I have to say that it's the best sounding bicycle innertube I've ever heard - by far!
I saw you demo it at the Blazin Fiddles fiddle school at Beauly several Octobers back and was
very impressed with the sound and feedback resistance. I didn't think it would be that good outside
a controlled demo - but it was.
I used the Headway band on my fiddle for the first time on bank holiday Monday. I had Jim Ronayne,
the virtuoso acoustic guitarist as my sound man and he was very impessed with it. I ran it through
one of those cheap and cheerful Behringer acoustic DI boxes and I couldn't separate out the amplifier
from the acoustic sound. And what's more, it stayed clean even when things got busy with everybody
else thrashing away.
It really is the best sounding bicycle innertube on the market today!

Headway Acoustic Violin
Pickups / Bowed Instruments Pickups
"The Band" Piezo Contact Violin Pickup offers far greater volume levels
before feedback, compared to mikes. And you can avoid being tied
down to mike stands.
Headway's "The Band" further cuts feedback, bowing
noise, body noise and excessive treble by acoustic filter.
The unique "Band" speeds sound checks and minimises
cluttersome and unreliable equipment needed to set up and
transport.
Most importantly, it offers increased headroom
(volume) before feedback, enabling problem free monitoring at
modest to high volumes.
As currently in use by Professional Violin Players:
Peter Knight ( Steeleye Span), Tom Leary ( Feast of Fiddles) and
Crystal ( Canadian Nashville Session Musician ).
"I heard a Headway Band
Pickup on a very good Acoustic Violin today while I was at
Bernstein's Violins in Boulder Colorado, USA. Now mind you,
I just heard it played for a few minutes over a very inexpensive
Fender Frontman Amp, but I have to say it sounded pretty good. I
was impressed. However, the Cheapie Frontman Fender Amp leaves
something to be desired as far as playing an Electric Fiddle on
it. But even so, even with the Cheapie Guitar Amp, the Headway
'Band' sounded pretty good to me; good enough that I'd like to
have one for my Acoustic Viola.
If you can find a place that stocks the Headway Band I'd take my
Violin into the place and try it out. The Headway Band straps
around your fiddle with no hassle and comes off easy also. The
Headway Band has a quarter inch jack for the regular Guitar
Chord. It's a real, no hassle pickup and it's the first good
soundboard pickup I have ever heard."

"I was very impressed by the
quality of output. I don't think I've ever heard a more accurate
acoustic sound coming out of a piezo."
- Arthur Marshall.
VL3: "I must say the sound you get
from the VL3 is amazing. I had been looking around a bit
and to be honest I didn't quite believe the reviews, but once it
is all fitted the sound is incredibly realistic. I only wish I'd
known about this a few years ago before wasting money on other
solutions. I'll definitely be recommending it to others. Thanks
also for sending it over so quick." - Robert Rogers,
Senior Consultant, Energy & Utilities, Logica CMG
