Should i use a right angle cable or a straight cable (to connect the pickup to the amp)?

I have played for 35 years and have always used a straight cord and has never interfered with my bow hand. I am right handed and have always had it to the outer left side so it cant interefere with anything.

Does this require the use of a preamp?

No, you don't have to have a preamp but you can use one with this mic if you want. I just use my amplifier and it works beautifully. It is very warm and I have not had any feedback from it at all. I really do love it and would recommend it to anyone...

Can you ship this product to the Philippines? If so, what is the total weight (lbs.) of this item? How much will shipping cost?

Yes, we can ship to the Philippines, no problem. Please see our listing for shipping costs.

will the pickup affect the acoustic violin negatively? and is it easy to install and remove, do you need extra tools to do it?

I have not noticed any negative effects from installing the pick up on my violins except for a slight buzzing sound if the screws holding it to the bridge are slightly loose. Installation is fairly quick and easy, the tool for tightening the chin rest jack is included, the only thing you'll need is a micro screw driver (phillips head) for those tiny screws on the bridge.

R**N

fairly natural fiddle sound

good that you can remove it . Fairly natural sound and can be loud enough for a band with a drummer. Reasonable price. lasts a 3or 4 years - weak point is if the small wires touch the fiddle they can vibrate in a bad way so I hitch them up with double sided tape on the tail piece.
