[rec.music.misc] NEED INFORMATION CONCERNING PICKUPS FOR MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

savige@jc3b21.UUCP (John Savige) (03/14/90)

	I'm investigating the technique of attaching a small pickup
to a musical instrument in order to amplify the sound.  I'd like to
amplify the sound of a string quartet (two violins, viola, and cello).
I'd appreciate advice relating to the following questions:

	1What kind of microphone, amplifier, and speaker would
	   produce sound at the lowest cost, or produce sound with
           the highest fidelity?

	2) What brand names or dealers are reputable?

	3) Would it be possible to save money through a do-it-yourself
	   project?

                                               Thank you,

                                             Carl Savige
