Hi Dave, Just read your thread dated the 23 of January regarding our Japanese friend and their quest for info regarding my guitar . I don't mind waiting at all...
I always plug the soundhole to reduce feedback...but I wonder how that would work with an internal mic? I imagine the mic's sound would get very muffled... ...
Hey Brett, Fishman positions their crown condensor internal gooseneck mic approx at the outer edge of the soundhole (Closest to bridge) about 1" to 2" away...
I would guess that a cyanoacrylate like Super Glue would work well...but a lot of classical guitars use Sally Hanson 'Hard as Nails' nail polish to prevent ...
Harry: I don't grow nails like you do to play finger-style. Honestly, I don't do it enough to justify it. But, I know a pro who does. He is pretty friendly ...
Harry in Hburg, Count me as one who uses Sally Hansen's Hard-As-Nails. I don't play classical, but I play steel string fingerstyle and find that it really...
Just received the 1977 FY-40 yesterday, and the guitar is just fine, will be much better after my luthier tweaks it. But, the case is trash. Anyone have a...
I'm looking to install an acoustic pickup in an old yairi that I'm restoring and I'm wondering what brand everyone here tends to prefer. It is a Grand...
I'll throw my 2 cents in on this one. I usually try to remain a silent member, but when it comes to acoustic amplification, I haven't found anything better...
I've been told by several trusted luthiers that the Baggs I-beam is the way to go. I've wanted to swap the GHS mic out of my DY72 for one but can't find a...
Eric The I-Beam is a "good" acoustic pickup, but from what I've read and heard from folks who've installed it, they were less than thrilled. Another pickup ...
I agree but having no experience with the KK and not seeing your post before I replied to the initial one makes me think I spoke too soon! The only concern I...
The Pure Western doesn't need a preamp...its three bridge transducers that are super glued to the bridge plate and an endpin...nothing else. It can be plugged...
Jim, I also have a DY62 with bi-phonic pickup (1993 model.) Have you ever used yours as it was intended, with separate left/right amps for the upper/lower...
I play with a worship band in our church and solo at our coffeehouse which is 90% why I want to switch pickup. The mic tends to feedback too much when playing...
Hey Ryan, Yep, You've opened up a big ole' can of worms. I, too, had a K&K pure western in my DY90. I finally had to take it out because of feedback problems...
PS. K&K makes a "pure" that has a little bit smaller pickups for Auditorium and Grand concert style guitars that will probably be less boomy and feedback...
Kirk, Hi. I'm Brett and I'm one of the moderators. We have no problem with you posting a Yairi for sale. There is a place under the "database" menu item...
This is the second time I've read someone mention K&K pickups and feedback. I use my K&K's all the time on stage and the only time I've had feedback is when...
Speaking of Rainsong Guitars, I left the Fishman Blender system that came with my Rainsong in the guitar, but also installed a K&K Trinity System it it (great...
Hey Todd, Which Rainsong do you have? I have the DR1000 dreadnought. Certainly not as warm as my Yairi, but I'm liking it more and more as I play it. I...
You're probably right, Jim...thanks... Speaking of Monte Montgomery, the upcoming A/Y catalog will include a signature model for him, the MMY1. It remains to...
One other thing...the MMY1 has the old-style bridge rather than the direct-coupled bridge that's on the current DY62C... -Dan (sorry - I just noticed that...) ...
Having the pleasure of being here in Austin, TX and seeing MM routinely, the Montiacs are going to want a hole made (warn through) in the top like MM's for it...
Hello all, I need some advice. I have a 75 Yairi DY 50 that I have played for all these years. The frets are worn especially the 2nd and 3rd of course. What...
Hi Mike ! I have the Rainsong OM1000, the little bodied graphite guitar with the big voice. Its easily as loud as many of my dreadnaughts, but with a unique...
