Re: OT - acoustic pickups, etc



yes, but i am telling you to drum on the guitar it is
excellent i saw a flamenco duo using them and i
couldnīt believe the sound! i am surprised that there
arenīt too many pickups out there for nylon strings
for this purpose,although flamenco as well as latin
music have always been very percussive styles.Another
pair of wonderful transducers for the money are the
Bellcats,it doesnt get any cheaper than that:

you just stick them inside of the guitar wherever you
need them,ive heard other guitar players use them
combined with Piezos and they sound awesome but you
will need a preamp to boost their output.
Cheers
Luis
