    Yea those guys are pretty cool, definitely have some chops.

    The thing about getting a D'Armond floating pickup is finding one. The ones I see listed on the net are thru the roof with their asking prices! There is a mandolin one in the classifieds for a reasonable price...

    I see, they're no longer in production.

    Is that pickup in the video you linked responding to my initial post meant to be for a six string? Or did they make one specifically for tenor?

    The Pickup does mellow out the sound though so it could be great for getting a different sound.
