Feb 22, 2015 at 0:25 comment added Shimmy Weitzhandler @endolith, Yes, my question was about the signal after having it passed via an active DI box / preamp.
Feb 18, 2015 at 17:14 comment added endolith "violin piezo pickup ... but all of them were nasal" Were you using a preamp? Piezo pickups require a very high input impedance preamp, or they will roll-off the low end. The output impedance of a piezo will be something like 1 MΩ at the G string's fundamental, so the input impedance of the preamp should be at least 10 MΩ.

Jun 1, 2011 at 14:58 comment added Jduv This question is similar to this one: music.stackexchange.com/questions/1734/…. I think it's okay, he's not asking a "whats the best piezo pickup ever?" kind of question. You could change the question to be: "What are some attributes of a natural sounding violin pickup and how do I select a good one?" and it'd probably get more nods.

May 26, 2011 at 21:46 comment added Shimmy Weitzhandler I wouldn't say it's off-topic since the forum is called "Practice and Performance" this question is really about a performance issue me and zillion other violinists have, and is a board for that special one and only violinist that bumped into that feedback resistant piezo PU willing to share his surprise with other people. So no one looks for promotion, if there is a good thing, we should know about it, not because we promote the brand but because we deserve it! Anyway, if that said and you still think this is off-topic, please tell me and I'll go ahead an delete this question.
May 26, 2011 at 18:36 comment added user28 I largely agree with neilfein. Something along the lines of "How can I record a violin so that it sounds natural?" would be a better question. I think it will be closed unless you rewrite it.
May 26, 2011 at 16:28 comment added Goodbye Stack Exchange As this question is currently written, it's a shopping recommendation and off-topic. Possibly rewrite so the question is asking what qualities to look for in a pickup? (And, BTW, except for the feedback-proof part, there is such a pickup. It's called a microphone.)
May 26, 2011 at 15:52 comment added NReilingh This question seems reasonable... Equipment questions ARE on-topic, and I feel this is constructed in a way that lends itself to good answers with a minimum of subjectivity.
