Can anyone tell me is this is Vintage NOS or a current product. I can't see any woodwind pickups on Barcus Berry's site.
I have sent a message to the seller but not heard back.

Thankyou!

Seems to be a current product.. I once used one years ago but prefer a normal headset mic. I use a AKG headset for flute so I only need one mic for all my flutes, from c flute to bass.

Thankyou again for your help Dr Sax. Do you have a link for information on the AKG headset dfor flute you are using? cheers

Don't undersestimate BB pick-ups. Have used an earlier model for ca 20 (!) years with great satisfaction. Apart from delivering an excellent and easily adjustable sound (my opinion anyway), they are perfect anti-Larsen gear, very useful when playing close to loud monitors. But, of course, you need one pick up per flute, if you playe more than one.

Thanks Jacques. Did BB make pickups for alto and bass? My flute Tootlebug made by Ken Tootle in London is the same principle as the BB but a bit more Heath Robinson ( Home Made) looking. I've had it 30 years!

I like the " anti Larsen" phrase...What do you mean? The volume of Berg Larsen saxophone pieces?
Thanks

I´m using an older version of this headset mic. This is the newer version. http://www.akg.com/site/products/powerslave,id,984,pid,984,nodeid,2,_language,EN.html
