Reviews for MSP ( Magnet Sandwiched Pickup ) for acoustic instruments, new installation mic!

The Biwa is a traditional Japanese short-necked lute, known for its powerful, percussive accents and delicate, lingering resonances. However, capturing its complex soul through amplification has always been a challenge for performers—until now. Recently, we had the pleasure of welcoming Sumire Kaoru, an innovative player of the Chikuzen Five-String Biwa, to our studio. We conducted an experiment to see how the MSP Pickup by 123sound.jp could handle the unique structural demands of this historic instrument. Reference articles: Revolutionizing Biwa Amplification: A Special Session with Kaoru Sumire A Seamless Blend of Magnetism and Tradition One of the most significant advantages of the MSP Pickup is its magnetic mounting system.

To solve these mysteries, we conducted an installation experiment. Check out the results in the video below! What did you think? The mounting position was quite a surprise!

Yu Soda, who bills himself as a musician having nature spirit, tried our MSP pickup on uncommon musical instruments: Kora (a west African stringed instrument with 21 strings), Kalimba (an African thumb piano), Yukin (a small harp), and Handpan. To reduce rustling noises made when instruments are touched and clicking noises made when attaching/removing the MSP pickup, he uses a rubber sheet or a cushion sticker on the side of MSP pickup facing instruments.  MSP pickup is a piezoelectric transducer contact pickup, passive type for acoustic musical instruments.  The MSP installation which has obtained international patents is innovative.
