Fishman C-100 Classic Series Cello Pickup

Reliable Cello Amplification with Easy, Noninvasive Installation

The Fishman C-100 Classic Series Cello Pickup provides a practical solution for amplifying an acoustic cello without permanently modifying the instrument. Featuring a piezo-ceramic transducer, the C-100 captures vibrations directly from the bridge and converts them into an electrical signal for amplification. Its lightweight construction helps minimize interference with the cello's natural acoustic response, making it a versatile choice for rehearsals, live performances, and other amplified playing situations.

The C-100 uses Fishman's patented Floating Mount system, allowing the pickup to fit into the wing slot of an existing cello bridge without drilling, carving, or replacing the bridge. This convenient design makes installation straightforward while preserving the instrument's original setup. A tailpiece-mounted 1/4-inch output jack provides a secure connection, and the included 10-foot cable offers flexibility when connecting to an amplifier or sound system. For optimal tonal response and signal performance, Fishman recommends pairing the pickup with an impedance-matching preamp, such as the Platinum Stage, Platinum Pro EQ, or Powerjack. With its straightforward installation and dependable design, the C-100 offers an accessible way to amplify an acoustic cello.
