We produce some of the world's finest piezo transducer pickups in a small workshop with just a handful of skilled pickup builders.  Each pickup is carefully handcrafted to our exacting standards and each one is tested individually to make sure that it is as perfect as we can make it.

Our goal is to provide great sounding pickups.  It is not easy or simple to build transducers that are 'transparent' in their sound quality.....pickups that allow the true sound of the instrument to come through.

You will notice that all of our pickups are purpose built for each instrument. The only exceptions to this are the "Dualie" and the VVM series of pickups. The Dualie, originally designed for guitar soundboard use, it has proven to be a fabulous pickup for other instruments as well such as  uke, dulcimer, prima, sitar, and kalimba.......to name just a few. The VVM was designed to operate properly on all three instruments: violin, viola and mandolin.

We promise that you will be more than satisfied with our pickups. You have my word on that.
