The Realist - doza violoncel

The Realist™ acoustic transducer was designed by Ned Steinberger in collaboration with David Gage. The Realist is available for bass, cello, viola, violin, arch-top guitar, mandolin, banjo, and other acoustic instruments, including the kora.

David Gage on the development of The Realist™:

"Recognizing the limitations of microphones and traditional piezo transducers, Ned and I decided that for the working musician things could and should be better. We felt a transducer should be equal in it's ability to recreate an acoustic pizzicato and arco sound through commonly used amplifiers.
