Every violinist spends years practicing before stepping on stage. But when the big moment finally comes, the biggest challenge is not skill – it’s sound.

Traditional microphones often create noise, howling, and feedback, while good imported pickups cost anywhere from ₹8,000 to ₹15,000 – far beyond the reach of most students and young musicians.

I personally faced this problem on stage. After one disappointing performance where my sound was completely lost, I made a decision: to build a professional-quality amplification system for violins that every musician could afford. That was the day TOMS Pickups™ was born.

Starting from scratch in 2024, I began testing, refining, and building pickups by hand. What began as a small experiment has now grown into a trusted brand with over 250 satisfied customers across India — including students, teachers, stage performers, and churches.
