D-4 Std - Appalachian Dulcimer Pickup

The D-4 Std dulcimer pickup is an outstanding pickup that combines great sound with simple and quick installation......and best of all, for most installations you don't have to modify a thing on your dulcimer as no holes have to be drilled and no screws used.

The D-4 Std Dulcimer pickup mounts to the soundboard of any shape of dulcimer with a little bit of our special non-marring putty. A thin layer of the putty applied to the underside of the pickup attaches the piezo unit securely to the top of the instrument. The putty will not dry out and will not leave any residue on the instrument.

 Technical

The D-4 Std comes complete with a simple 1/4" output jack assembly and is fully wired and ready to use. For most installations, the jack assembly can be mounted to the end block of the dulcimer with the supplied 3M VHB foam mounting tape so no holes need be drilled in the instrument. For permanent installations, the jack assembly may be affixed to the end block of the instrument with 2 small supplied wood screws.

Amplification

     This pickup has been designed to operate properly and sound terrific without the use of a preamp when plugged into any 'normal' amp (guitar amp, bass amp, etc.) As with any pickup, the sound can be further enhanced with an outboard preamp. If you require the ability to plug directly into a P.A. or mixer then you may wish to add our Mini Pre belt clipable preamp.
