Applying
The
Pickup |
Use super glue (cyanoacrylate) to adhere the pickups in
the bridges’ openings, making sure that there is at least
10" of space between the upper and lower pickup pairs.
This helps to balance the sound. In order to keep the cords
from rattling, tape them down to the soundboard at three or
four points.

| Jack |
The two 1/4" jacks
should be taped to the narrow sides of the instrument using
self-adhesive dual-lock hook-and-loop strips. |
| Usage Tips |
Using two pickups for
the hammer dulcimer provides an exceptionally spacious sound,
whether plugged into a P.A. system, two amplifiers, a stereo
amp, or a recording console. Because the bass and treble strings
are picked up separately, they can be processed separately and
placed in the stereo spectrum to suit your taste.
Note: Using a dual-mono-to-single-mono Y-cord allows you to
run the pickups in mono mode. You can also run the pickups’
output to an electronic tuner to aid tuning the instrument. For P.A. and recording applications, a high-quality direct box such as as the D-TAR Solstice or Equinox is suggested. |
