Just clamps next to the shoulder rest (there is cork padding) and the little pickup pad just slips into the bridge slot where it curls. Easy peasy.

WOW!

I learned the A minor pentatonic scale from Fiddlehed, found a backing track on YouTube and started improvising using the scale. If you haven’t learned one of these magical scales yet, I highly recommend that you do! You can jam to anything A…[Read more]

I recently took off the cheater fret tapes on the neck. Finding those notes with no…[Read more]

I’ve always been a guitar and mandolin player so the fingering comes easy… It’s the bowing that’s a challenge!
