Welcome to the online home of Barbera Transducer Systems.

We Craft Ultra High Performance Pickups for professional musicians worldwide, for Violin, Electric Violins, Upright Bass, Cello and Electric Cellos with separate transducers for each string.

Barbera Transducer Systems is a specialized company devoted to the development and production of the finest quality pickups available for violin, electric violins, upright bass and cello. Our approach to making high end pickups is through a combination of musical instrument craftsmanship, innovative electro acoustic design concepts and precision production techniques. It is our belief that a truly professional pickup system should be a fine musical instrument component in its own right. We've been making, custom quality transducers and pickups for violin, electric violins, cellos, and upright basses since 1986. We consider pickup making an art form and have been continually refining our pickup designs and craft over the last 27 years. This makes BTS pickups truly unique and in a class by themselves in their level of sophistication, quality and performance.

Barbera Multi-Transducer Bridges for acoustic and electric violins, acoustic and electric cellos, and upright basses are for the discriminating performer who wants the very best amplified sound possible for their musical expression.

Through their advanced design and construction, Barbera multi-transducer pickups empower a stringed instrument to be able to project a great tone in virtually any musical situation. They provide full range, high fidelity sound quality and they bring tonal richness, focused clarity, balance and power of projection to an instrument's amplified voice. These are qualities which enhance the experience of performing, allowing the player to relax and focus on creating music, while comfortably projecting their sound without having to struggle to be heard.
