TraderPlus 2Pcs Piezo Contact Microphone Pickup for Guitar Violin Banjo Mandolin Ukulele

sounds perfect for what i use them for - I put them under my jaguar bridge to capture the behind-the-bridge strings' sympathetic ringing through a stereo rig. then when i don't want the lo fi sound, i just turn it off with a volume pedal

今までビンテージギターをガット、スチール弦集めてきましたが、 ピックアップはついていませんでした。 といっても、ヤマハのビンテージなので安い本体に高いピエゾは買う気がおきません。 経済が破綻する前に予備も購入しておこうと思い追加でかいました。 高いピエゾなんて使ったこと無いですし、デジタルアンプシュミレーターを通して真空管アンプから出力しているので、原音なんて関係ないだろう？と思っていましたが、 いくらアコースティックやナイロンのシュミレーターのリグを探しても、フルアコはフルアコの音にしかなりませんでした。 こんなおもちゃの聴診器みたいなものでなにができるのか？？と思いましたが、 ナイロンギター、スチール弦ギターの違いが明確に違います。 ただし、低音がうねるようにでるようなギターは音がひずみやすいので、グラフィックイコライザーで低音のある周波数を下げてやる必要があります。 すごいですね。エレキで空間系エフェクトをかけていたのに、グラフィックイコライザーだけで仕上がった音が出せました。さすがにSN比はエレキにかないませんが。。 あとはマイク立てて録音するのがいいような。。

I love this product! I understand that everyone buys piezoelectric sound pickups for different purposes, so every response is likely to vary. However, I bought this to replace worn-out wooden pickup mounted on the surface of a family heirloom, a hand-made mountain dulcimer given to me by my mother when her fingers no longer had the dexterity to play it. Those who have tried to amplify a lap dulcimer know how difficult it can be to add volume to this very soft instrument without altering its light, delicate sound. This little wonder of a pickup has done the job reliably and well! Previously, I had spent some $40 for an all-in-one-housing piezo imported from a European violin-making company; the best sound it could achieve for me was more than loud enough, yet very harsh and contrived. In pleasant contrast, I found this little button piezo (with space- and effort-saving separate cable jack mounting) to be small in size but large in true, clear sound. For a guitar, typically with its large, round sound hole, a sound hold mic is preferable for best sound; but for those instruments which don't offer sufficient sound hole space, this surface-mount piezo will do a great job in one spot or another (some experimenting may be needed before final attachment). With its small footprint and small price, this little wonder is quite a BIG wonder!

Does its job.

I tried em on my classical guitar. Placement makes a difference but I switched from an electric guitar practice amp to a practice bass amp. That made all the diff because I don't like upper mids and highs especially when they quack at me. So this little cheapie piezo satisfies me! I would buy again. Only one complaint; the first one quit working, the 2nd one is still going strong after a year.
