Hi Chad,

I've just joined this list and have been reading the archives. I sent
a posting about amplifying the Kinnellen, and am wondering if the K@K
Twin pickup would work better than the single-headed Fishman. I do
seem to get that "annoying strong spot" which you mention, with the
Fishman. The pickup would have to be stuck on the front of the
soundboard, so I would appreciate any advice about postioning it,
taping down the pickup and wires so they are not so noticable etc If
it is any help, I could measure the dimensions of the soundboard. To
see what the Kinnellen looks like, go to

I also have a smaller 23-string harp, made by Lynne Lewandowski, and
might stick the Fishman pickup on it.

and covered all the harp's range so nothing was left out or weak.
Also the annoying "strong spot" sound of normal pickups is much
lessened.
