Subject: RE: What kind of pick-up for bowed psaltary?
Has it got any holes in the soundboard?
If so a really good cheap pickup can de made out of a piezo-trancducer just wedge it against the underside of the soundboard with a piece of dowel and it will give a good output, no pre-amp needed.
If you use 2 in different positions and pan them 100% left and right you will not believe how fantastic it sounds.
