He is one of the first people from the acoustic bass scene to reach out and support my work on the electric upright. It was the piezo bridge pickup in particular that caught his interest because of the full, rich tonality, especially when bowed, that seemed to be missing in other electric instruments. We got to talking about the dissatisfaction so many acoustic string players have with the sound of the pickups that are available. The next thing I know, I've got one of David's prize instruments in my studio, and we are testing all kinds of old and new variations of pickup designs. The result is The Realist™, which is an evolution of the original pickup in the NS Double Bass. Three elements combine to give The Realist™ the exciting tone that has so many players raving. The first is finding the right structure within and around the piezo crystal to respond optimally to the acoustic resonance of the instrument itself. This involves endless comparisons that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, and we have David's sensitivity and patience to thank for the excellent result. We owe a debt also to the many fine players who were corralled into helping evaluate the various options. Second, placing the transducer under the foot of the bridge puts it exactly where 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. The output level directly from the pickup is unusually high, and as a result the signal to noise ratio is also very high, so no pre-amp or other active, battery powered gear is necessary. Just plug it in! 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. But all this technical stuff is beside the point when you are on stage or in the studio, the pressure is mounting, and you need your sound to be there. As both luthier and musician, David has plenty of field experience in the ongoing battle for tone. \"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"products\"\u003eThe innovative, \u003cb\u003elight-weight jack\u003c\/b\u003e affixes to your violin via a precision clamping system that will not damage your instrument's varnish or its sonic quality.

Born in Pistoia in 1980, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePietro Gargini made his first violin at the age of seventeen under the supervision of Mauro Scartabelli and Elder Maestro Guido Maraviglia. He then studied with the luthiers Luigi Ercoli and Gabriele Natali, and continued cooperating with them for a few years. He continued to expand and deepen his understanding in various aspects of construction, restoration and development along masters; Gabriele Negri, Lambert Houniet, Hans Nebel and Carlos Arcieri, whom he worked with at his New York workshop. In 2007, Maestro Gargini obtained his Masters Degree in Architecture from the University of Florence. In his graduation thesis; “Form and Music: The Mechanics of the Violin”, he investigated the family of strings quartet, observing the birth and development centuries ago until present day; analysis of forms, ratios and proportions; geometric and their implications on acoustic solutions; conceptual origin of the family of the string quartet as a coincidence of the search for “beauty as harmony of proportions” Renaissance Humanism. In 2008, he opened his own workshop and was a member of the Associazione Liuteria Toscana from 2008 to 2012. Currently, in Pistoia, his workshop is located in the historical center. Maestro Pietro Gargini spilts his time between restoration work and construction of new instruments.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully insured shipping within the continental US is $200 via UPS, for all other locations please inquire.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4LBahas28fI?si=1lhhZpR5qRBVQFuo\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Musical Traditions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41443064315962,"sku":"C262605POS","price":6000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/8813\/files\/IMG_0782.heic?v=1780606523"},{"product_id":"georg-hermann-4-4-violin-used","title":"Georg Hermann 4\/4 Violin (used)","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeorg Hermann 4\/4 violin in very good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopy of Antonius Stradivarius\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1984\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a very solid student level violin. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile this violin shows cosmetic wear in scratches, dings, and nicks, it is in very good playing condition and was repaired in May 2026.
