I have recently began to play my mandolin(non electric) at church where I amplify it using a microphone. This is a horribly annoying ordeal because I play as I sing which requires the use of two microphones. This being the case I have begun to consider buying a pickup for mandolin and I need guidance. I have looked on the internet, although not extensively, for a pick up and I have found them ranging in price from 60 dollars all the way up to the hundreds but needless to say 60 dollars is still to expensive for me at this moment. Some of the pickups I saw cost as much as my mandolin which was very affordable.I am wondering if I should wait and buy an acoustic electric mandolin or if there is a suitable pick up I could buy for around 30 dollars? I don't know alot about this issue so I could use all the friendly feedback and advise I can get.
Thanks
Derrick
