The V-100 Violin / Viola Pickup 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 pickup is terminated with a Switchcraft™ 1/8" jack that
mounts to the tailpiece.
The V-100 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-
100 provides a natural, acoustic sound for arco or pizz playing styles.

AUTION
As might be expected of a high performance, vibration-sensing transducer, the FISH-
MAN V-100 should be handled with care, particularly during installation. However,
once installed as instructed below, this device is well protected from abuse and
should provide years of trouble-free service.
P
RELIMINARY
1. Remove all rosin deposits from the bridge of the instrument.
2. Examine the bridge closely to make sure that the wing slots are free of warps or
irregularities and that the slots present flat parallel faces.
