    Re: advice on pickup for live use

    As a person who's very fussy about Sound quality...I tried many pickup's for my Violin and Mandolin. After so many attempts and money wasted...I found a very practical yet cost efficient way:

    Re: di box advice

    I agree with Mandobart's suggestion with ADI21. I have 2 units. It works well with any Piezo pickup. I liked that it gave a 'warm' tone.. and not bright and shrill like some expensive brands. Its...

    I'm quite even when it comes to both. Both has its own place in doing what they do.

    Re: More Volume From A Mandocello

    If space is so important for a mando orchestra...surely the organisers are smart enough to consider that 1st? Why book a Venue knowing that there is not enough space at the 1st place??

    Re: More Volume From A Mandocello

    If this is true, then why should there be any mando orchestra recital then at that puny venue...knowing that the space is not big enough? Isnt that silly?

    Less is more. This works in more situations than not when it comes to 'live' Music.

    Re: Electric Mandolins? Do you like it? or Hate it?

    If an electric mandolin sounds so much like an Electric Guitar...why bother using electric mandolin? Might as well play an ELectric GUitar that has a wider range overall and is more versatile.

    Re: Electric Mandolins? Do you like it? or Hate it?

    This sounds exactly like a regular Electric Guitar! There is no mandolin tone at all.

    Electric Mandolins? Do you like it? or Hate it?

    I dont dislike them...but I very much prefer an acoustic Mandolin. It sounds more.... Mandolin!

    An Electric Mandolin sounds like a normal Electric Guitar played pm the high frets. Not enough to...
  12. Re: Internal Pickup in BowlBack Mandolin-anyone did this before?

    Tim...yes...I get what you mean. After much thought...I think I will somehow find a way to clip my ATM350 on my Mandolin. I have an arm rest that's attached to it. I do prefer a MIC if I can help it....
  13. Re: Internal Pickup in BowlBack Mandolin-anyone did this before?

    I have this Mic already...and I still cant attach it to my Mandolin. The most resonating spot is between the soundhole and the bridge. There's no way the short ATM35o Clip Mic can reach anywhere near...
  14. Re: Internal Pickup in BowlBack Mandolin-anyone did this before?

    Thanks Tim and Jim for your wise words. Tim does make sense about the fragililty of a typical bowl back. Drilling a hole may not be a wise thing to do.

    I did thought of using a good Clip on Mic...

    I know this sounds silly....but if all else fail...use an acoustic Amp to amplify yourself. Face it towards the audience. Put the volume that is 'just right'...meaning that the audience will be able...
  17. Re: Internal Pickup in BowlBack Mandolin-anyone did this before?

    Thanks Tavy. I am seeking to make my bowl back loud and clear on stage. The monitor level on stage can be pretty high....so using a Mic is out of the question. I do not like F or A style mandolins. I...

    Just curious how many of you have installed an internal pickup in your bowl back Mandolin.

    Are there pros and cons?

    I love Mandola. It sounds awesome with its lower tone. I have a delightful BOWL BACK Mandola from the 1930's.

    VIOLINKING's reputation is bad as it gets when it comes to useless and hopeless customer service in ebay. I still wonder how they can survive with such a bad attitude??

    Maybe you can explain more how the tone, feel, action, response, projection are? Since you are the only one I know who has this unique instrument.
