Open Mic 2017 09 26 Kenny Hill - Search For The Perfect Amplification For Classical Guitar
Kenny uses a Rich Barbera pickup installed on the saddle.

I've tried lots of ideas and equipment. For me, the simplest and most practical of the lot is still the under saddle [piezo] type.
I suppose I just have to put up with the slightly disturbing/plasticky/rubbery tone they usually give.

[@TLMuse]

The guitar sounds so loud *acoustically* before you even turn on the amp that I end up with little idea of how the amplified tone itself sounds. You have me intrigued, but I really would have liked to have heard the actual pickup sound by itself. -Tom

What guitar is that?

Henriksen Bud Guitar Amp

Still sounds like plastic to me. The best thing I’ve found is an open mic or the mini-flex 2 mic system.

Funny how the quality of sound is so very subjective...

The bass string sounds horrible

Fishman is trash! I don't understand people and brands that insist in that.

[@1guy1wisdom]

Why?

[@ivoleary6332]

@@1guy1wisdom It's being explained in the video. After you get Barbera piezo or DPA mic you realize how bad Fishman is.
