Howdy all -

I've uploaded a sample that is a little more musical.  I sent an 
MOTM patch out of the 110 into a piezo on a guitar.  I then took the 
output of another piezo on the same guitar to the desk and 
recorded.  The guitar is a cheapo Harmony f-hole acoustic from the 
fifties.  More interesting than the last.

I'm building up the courage to put the piezo on my Taylor which has 
an under-saddle and mic combo for recording.  May give better 
results...

Mike

PS - The filter in this sample is actually Tony Allgood's SVF.  Even 
though it isn't shown off here very well, it is a very nice sounding 
filter with several useful features.  Sounds OB-ish to me.

Thanks for the post. Even though the guitar body can be heard a bit, it sounds 
like the piezo can't drive it as well as a string pluck. A piezos lack of bass 
might be one reason. I'd sure like to hear one of those transducers Larry 
Hendry pointed out, hooked up to a guitar or cello or violin. $9 at All 
Electronics. Isn't somebody with one of these instruments going to try this, or 
do I have to buy an acoustic instrument just to try it myself?

Yeah, I agree.  I'm still gonna try the Taylor thing though.  I 
think the internal mic will pick up a little more of the bass...
