Sound clip for K&K Mandolin Twin Internal Pickup

[rb3wreath]

I've just installed onto three different acoustic guitars K&K's Pure Mini pickups and have been extremely impressed by the natural acoustic sound I'm getting out of them.

I'm curious about installing one onto my mandolin as well, but haven't been very successful finding a sound clip of a mando with one installed. Do any of you who have one have an MP3 you could post? Or perhaps there's a hidden website with a bunch of sound files already posted?

Thanks!

I have no sound clips to post but I can recommend the pick up. After struggling with feed back with 3 other pick ups I installed a K&K mandolin twin just under the ends of the bridge, and the owner is very happy with the results and so is his band.

Extremely satisfied with the K&K installed in my Clark JM:

Anybody have any good opinions or reviews of the K&K mandolin twin or twin fusion pickups. I'm looking for a better alternative to the Donnell Miniflex mic I've got in my Apitius mandalto 10-string. K&K's sound good in guitars, but how about the mandolins. Anybody have any experience with them?

I ended up installing the internal twin on my '96 Flatiron A5 Artist. I use it in conjunction with the K&K XLR Preamp box and really like the sound. Without the preamp it doesn't sound as perfectly acoustic. Very pleased with it so far.

Ted, I've seen that vid many times and never get tired of it. How old is she now? (Sorry, no experience with the K&K).

I ordered a Mandolin Twin internal and it is going in my new 15.5" mandolin being built now by Keith Newell

I'M THINKING ABOUT IT AS WELL. GOT ONE IN MY BARITONE UKELELE. WORKS GREAT. THAT ONE COMES WITH A EQ/PRE-AMP INSIDE THE HOLE (vol/bass/middle treble). WOULDN'T BE AN OPTION FOR THE MANDO. THERE ARE A FEW PEOPLE WHO SAID THE PREAMP IS IMPORTANT FOR THE SOUND OF THE K&k, so make sure you get the right one. you get more noises from the body top, but you illiminate the sqeak of the undersaddle pup.also, i'm going to try a one piece maple bridge, to try to get a better sound out of my mando (the Loar LM600vs). because the K&K pure mini will go through the f holes under the bridge ends on the inside, it will be nicely seperated from the bridge, so you can get the best bridge possible
