The Band Piezo Contact Viola Pickup offers far greater volume levels before feedback, compared to mikes. Headway's "The Band" further cuts feedback, bowing noise, body noise and excessive treble by acoustic filter. The unique "Band" speeds sound checks and minimises cluttersome and unreliable equipment needed to set up and transport but most importantly, it offers increased headroom (volume) before feedback, enabling problem free monitoring at modest to high volumes. Headway pickups are currently in use by many professional musicians including Peter Knight (Steeleye Span), Tom Leary (Feast of Fiddles) and Crystal (Canadian Nashville Session Musician).
