Applying
The
Pickup |
The pickup can be attached to either the outside or inside
of the harmonica. The metal side of the pickup disc must be
attached to the harmonica with super glue (cyanoacrylate).
To improve adhesion, the area of the harmonica where the pickup
is to be glued should be rubbed lightly with fine sandpaper
and then cleaned with alcohol and allowed to dry before the
super glue is applied.
Larger harmonicas benefit from having the pickup mounted inside
on the reed block, while smaller models sound better with
the pickup glued onto the metal case’s exterior.

A 1/8" mini jack
is attached to the pickup. It should be mounted to the pickup
with a self-adhesive dual-lock hook-and-loop strip. |
| Usage Tips |
You can
play the harmonica through most amplifiers. Note, though, that
the pickup is very sensitive, and therefore you should keep
hand movement (tapping, rubbing, etc.) to a minimum. Otherwise,
these sounds will be amplified along with the harmonica’s
tones. For P.A. and recording applications, a high-quality direct box such as as the D-TAR Solstice or Equinox is suggested. |
