When I discuss this on fiddle sites, it's well known to any decent citizen that magnetic pu:s simply can't work with bowed instruments. The empiric proof is that fiddlers traditionally use piezos... There is so much superstition and anti-intellectualism that any serious retard would have nightmares. Other examples are how e-fiddles are constructed, a massive lump of maple because maple is the material (acoustic) fiddles are made from, 35 mm thick, then a thin flexive acoustic bridge standing on top of that. For some reason this bridge doesn't manage to transfer string vibration onto the heavy piece of wood. A scientific approach would be to examine the properties of the bridge and the body and realize that the body should be made from a less dense wood and the bridge should be made more stiff and heavy, but no... Instead a rubber plate is placed between bridge and body so that the transfer is cut completely and the tone is killed; the body becomes dead weight. If they'd asked any maker of electric guitars they would have had some relevant guidance, but they won't ask. I had my electric made from mahogany and semi-solid, yet the bridge was too weak, so I got some painful and weird overtones. I had a bridge made from ebony and brass and led the strings through the body instead of using the floating trapeze acoustic tailpiece and got good sound without those painful overtones. No fiddler or fiddle luthier would ever had gotten that idea, it came to me after years of activity on guitar forums. People there usually aren't familiar with the misconceptions in the fiddle world that are considered scientific facts.
Therefore I usually don't have to explain all those things with guitar people. With a little insight in the fiddle world, though, I guess that one may have heard about some of those old wisdoms, for example that magnetic pu:s don't work with bowed instruments. That's not very strange because normal guitar type magnetic pu:s certainly won't work because they're sensitive to the vertical movements of the string, while the bowed string moves horizontally. It's easy to solve this problem though. Individual coils placed between the strings will read the horizontal movements and work with bowed instruments. Of course the pu must be arched like the fingerboard and the coils should have the right angle to eachother.
I avoid those discussions because there are those old misconceptions about bowed instruments plus some facts that's not common knowledge in the guitar world. The sensitivity of the guitar pu isn't known by makers of guitar pu:s because it's not important. Those pu:s reads the vertcal movements and obviously that's enough. To make a pu for bowed instruments though, that knowledge is essential, and the pu must be constructed differently. I've had this discussion with some extraordinary pu makers and they won't believe me... Therefore it's hard to find someone to make a pu for me because they've tried the plucked instrument approach with no success. That kind of construction with individual coils between the strings sounds completely weird for most pu makers, so they won't try even if they get paid!
