【 Classical Guitar × MSP pickup 】Review by Gabriele Natilla / France



I recently started to use the MSP pick up for amplification purpose within a traditional Italian music band.
As we need a consistent volume the MSP works very well because there are almost no Larsen feedback noises even at high power.
I use the MSP with a classical guitar (nylon stringed), usually a traditional Spanish guitar with Torres bracing built by the Japanese luthier Sakazo Nakade in 1957.
Installing the MSP on the guitar is definitely easy with the provided tool and the powerful magnets. It is necessary to choose the right magnet (more or less thick) according to the thickness of the soundboard.
The most remarquable thing is that the place you choose to put the MSP on the soundboard is extremely influent : the sound changes very much according to its position. So the possibilities are virtually infinite.
By now I am using the MSP coupled with a DI device which goes to a multitrack mixer connected to a couple of speakers.
Globally satisfied of the system, I am far from having finished to explore all its possibilities.
