It is the only one of it's kind that I've seen in many years involved in Music Sessions, Sing-alongs, Festivals and Gigs. Were such instruments simply unpopular ? the effect does work quite well un amplified, I've not heard one through any kind of amplification. |

I don't see how they can be 'unamplified'? They must by default have some kind of built-in amplification otherwise the effect wouldn't be audible. |

No amp or external speaker required... I'm thinking I might have linked to a demo/review from Anderton's youtube channel... |

And people do actually like them in folk clubs - well they do in the places I've been. I've got one of the cheap ones. Its okay. Plays allright. This Phil Walker demo in the transacoustic - a bit boomy but you get the idea. Try and catch Phils History of the Guitar stage show. He's very good - at a theatre near you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN3bh7gf2cs&list=RDxnv73HGUVu4&index=6 |
