Frequently Asked Questions

The Polar Piezo offers a more natural acoustic representation than many magnetic pickups, capturing more of the wood's resonance but lacking the aggressive output of some alternatives.
Yes, the Coform is slightly convex, which some players find more comfortable and easier to navigate, particularly for arco playing, but it requires a short adjustment period.
While well-shielded, like any self-powered pickup, it can be susceptible to noise in environments with extreme electromagnetic interference; a good quality cable helps mitigate this.
