Review: Good Quality, Good Craftsmanship - Very clean and natural sounding pickup. It keeps the real acoustic tone of the instrument without making it sound electric , which is the most important part for me. The design works great and there is no noise or buzz at all, even when plugged into a PA or recording setup. Installation is simple and it sticks nicely in the soundhole without affecting the acoustic sound. The built in preamp gives a strong and balanced signal which is very much a plus. Build quality feels solid and premium but its obviously handmade which is normal for unique instruments accessories and the wooden housing looks very classy on the instrument. Not cheap, but the sound quality and craftsmanship fully justify the price. Overall great value for super unique instruments accessory that is extremely hard to find with good value and good quality.
Review: A couple of Drawbacks but sounds great - Installed on my own fairly easily. The screw mount to the neck is less than desirable. The batteries can only be replaced on my Dannan/Hora by removing the humbucker. Hopefully they last a good long while. On the up side, the pick up sounds awesome.
