Lutes are amazing instruments, used across the world and cultures. From the east to the west, the lute all comes down to the sound. The sound is the single most important factor when determining the quality that the instrument produces. So how do you keep the natural acoustic sound of the lute without having the sound distorted through a piezo pickup? We have the solution for you! Finally there is a lute pickup that can handle both the quality of sound and the freedom to move around while keeping that sound from fluctuating in and out. We will discuss two of the most popular lute pickups we have to offer and we can assure you that you are going to love the sound you get out of these lute pickups. Why? Because it is the sound of your lute.

The Feather lute Pickup

The first lute pickup we will talk in detail about is the Feather Lute Pickup. The feather lute pickup is the most versatile lute pickup we offer because of the ease of use between many different instruments, but this lute pickup works extremely well with lutes. The feather lute pickup has a built in battery-powered preamp, enclosed in a miniature enclosure. You can easily adjust the volume on the lute pickup right from the enclosure itself. Mounting the feather lute pickup preamp is easy, with several options to choose from. Included in the feather lute pickup package is the belt clip that allows you to mount the feather lute pickup preamp to your belt, pocket or a nearby music stand. This keeps the feather lute pickup preamp off of your lute and is still easily accessible in order to control the volume. Extending out from the lute pickup preamp is a long 48-inch feather lute microphone. The length of this feather lute microphone allows you the freedom to keep the feather lute pickup preamp off of your lute and still have the feather lute microphone mounted to your guitar almost weightlessly. Mounting this feather lute microphone is effortless with the provided feather lute microphone clips. Clip the feather lute microphone directly on the edge of the sound hole and this feather lute pickup will catch every note and sound being played from your lute.

The Grip lute Pickup

The second type of lute pickup we are going to discuss is the Grip lute pickup. The Grip lute pickup is perfect for the lute because of the variety of options and the ease of mounting. The Grip lute pickup, like all of our pickups, has a built in battery-powered preamp inside a small enclosure. Instead of mounting this Grip lute pickup to your belt or music stand, this Grip lute pickup has a suction cup that allows the whole Grip lute pickup to sit safely on your lute. No damage and no permanent mounting! Easily place the Grip lute pickup on your lute and when you are done, effortlessly remove the Grip lute pickup until needed again. It does not get much easier than that! Because most lutes have a smooth and sheen finish to them, the Grip lute pickup sticks on safely and securely with the use of the suction cup. The Grip lute pickup has many options when it comes to the Grip lute microphones. Choose between a single, double or even a triple set of lute microphones to catch every single note of your lute. All of our lute microphones give you the quality you are looking for, and with the flexibility and hold, you can place each lute microphone in the desired position and it will stay there. These lute microphones come in both 3-inch and 6-inch sizes, making it easy to mount the classical lute pickup to the face of your lute or even to the side of the body of the lute, all while the lute microphones bend to the perfect location. This makes the options of mounting the lute microphones virtually endless.

The lute is an instrument that was built to only be acoustic and, up until now, there was never an ability to amplify the sound while keeping it authentic. Piezo pickups turn the acoustic into metallic twang and stationary lute microphones cause any musician to stay in the exact location in order to keep the sound from fluctuating. Myers Pickups has brought all of these issues into one easy to use, damage free lute pickup. No matter the model of lute pickup that fits you best, you can rest assured that the sound is only that of the acoustic highs and lows of your lute. We are so confident in our lute pickups that we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee as well as a great warranty and superior customer service. It is not easy, buying this type of product online, but with our lute pickups, you know that you are in good hands with Myers Pickups. Get yours today and put us and our lute pickups to the test!
