Barcus-Berry - Tradition of Innovation
Over four decades of innovative leadership are deeply engrained in the history of Barcus-Berry. In 1963, experiments initiated by violinist John Berry and electronics visionary Les Barcus, gave birth to the first ever piezo crystal transducer for musical instruments. This discovery ultimately led to Barcus-Berry's introduction of several "firsts" in the music industry, such as the first electric violin, the first successful piezo transducers for guitar, piano and concert harp, the first commercially marketed active direct box, the first combination strap button/output jack and the first "under saddle" piezo pickup.
Barcus-Berry has come to offer the best quality in pickups/transducers for guitars, brass and woodwind instruments, orchestral instruments and pianos and harps. Barcus-Berry products are favored by leading performers such as Herbie Hancock, Sharon Corr (The Corrs), Deni Bonet (Cyndi Lauper), Tracy Bonham, Dan Kelly (Alan Jackson and Faith Hill) and Malin-My Nilsson (Brian Wilson). The "Planar Wave" piano system has established its reputation as the only transducer system of its kind and has become an indispensable working tool for the most professional of piano engineers.
Barcus-Berry has continued to make history with technologically advanced systems offering unparalleled accuracy and immunity to feedback. Today, Barcus-Berry borrows from its illustrious heritage to bring the newest generation of transducers which allow musicians truer reproduction of acoustic sound.
