Inspired by the design of the clamps used at the luthier&#8217;s workshop, they H-clamp is mounted to the ribs. The choice of the edge of the body as the fixing point for the H-clamp is important for several reasons. It is convenient from the perspective of positioning microphones unobtrusively, but more important, the edge is the strongest part of the structure and the point at which clamping has least effect on the resonances of the sound box&#8217;s panels. The H-clamp can therefore be tightened very securely and yet have no discernable impact on the sound of the instrument. The H-Clamp&#8217;s components are machined from aerospace grade materials by an experienced manufacturer of high performance components for aircraft and aeroengines.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.exploraudio.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.exploraudio.com<\/a>, available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kontrabass-atelier.de\" target=\"_blank\">www.kontrabass-atelier.de<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><li class=\"listing-item\"><a class=\"title\" href=\"https:\/\/doublebassguide.com\/?p=177\">Fishman<\/a><div class=\"content\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.doublebassguide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/10\/fishman.jpg\" align=\"right\" \/><strong>BP-100<\/strong><br \/>\nType: piezoceramic<br \/>\nMode: passive<br \/>\nPreamp: optional; several preamps (single\/dual channnel) available<\/p>\n<p>Two piezo plates are stuck to the top side of the bridge by means of two metal pegs.

(&#8230;) Second, placing the transducer under the foot of the bridge puts it exactly were the sound is transferred from the strings to the sound board. This is definitely where the action is, and the rich, powerful response, both pizzicato and bowed, testifies to this simple fact. (&#8230;) The copper foil sandwich construction is the third key element in the system. It provides total shielding to eliminate hum from light fixtures and other electrical or radio interference. It is flexible enough to conform to the curve of the top of the instrument, so that the full pressure of the bridge is concentrated evenly onto the piezo surface (&#8230;)&#8221;<br \/>\nThe Realist is endorsed by Christian McBride, George Mraz and Michael Moore.<\/p>\n<p><em>This pickup can be found factory installed in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eminence-bass.de\">Eminence portable upright basses<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.doublebassguide.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/realist_wood.jpg\" alt=\"Realist Wood\" width=\"279\" height=\"233\" align=\"right\" \/><strong>The Realist \u201cWood\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because it is made of wood, the element will not have any chance of marking the top of the instrument on to which it is installed.
