Lightweight. Effortless. Feedback-free.
The Prodigy
At just 14 ounces, the Prodigy delivers a full, rich sound with essentially no feedback issues. It balances beautifully on the shoulder, resonates with warm overtones, and almost disappears in your hands. This isn’t a gadget. It’s an instrument, built by hand to be played hard!
For players chasing more tone and articulation, the Barbera multi-transducer bridge comes in the PLUS configuration — available on both the Prodigy and the Prodigy Elite.
