How are Barbera Pickups different from other pickups?
Barbera Bridges collect a mirror image of the instruments voice directly from the vibrating strings. All the unique tonal information of the instruments voice is reflected in the way that the strings vibrate in response to the instruments resonant properties. By collecting this information directly, a clear image of the instruments sound is available for amplification. Barbera Bridges have a high baseline of functionality and collect string energies very efficiently. They will transform even an elemental stick type electric instrument into a rich sounding amplified instrument. When put on an acoustic instrument, there is all the more tonal information present, and the unique tonal personality of the instrument is transmitted with striking clarity and depth. Please read the article “Concepts Behind Barbera Multi Transducer Bridges” for a more in depth discussion of the subject.
