Default Who Makes a Feedback Buster for an OM?

My new to me Martin OMC has a smaller sound hole so my Feedback busters won't fit in it. Still taking the guitar to my gig tonight as it's an in ear monitor gig. But who makes a buster that will fit the smaller sound hole?

Thanks

Hi David…

Lute Hole Covers. They are laser cut, wooden covers built in several sizes. I own 2 and they work just as well as my big-black-rubber-plug.

The holes make the acoustic volume a bit louder (less nasal to the ear), and don't affect the feedback suppression for the pickup.

What size is your sound hole? I have two Lute Hole sound hole covers that are absolutely gorgeous for a guitar I no longer own that I'd be willing to part with. The Lute Hole covers are great as Larry said but the wait is 3-4 weeks and they cost a pretty penny. Definitely worth it though.

Is you OM's sound hole a lot smaller or just a tiny bit? I have a Martin that the sound hole is just a tad under 4" so I took one of the PW rubber ones and shaved it down with a scalpel and now it works just fine.

I’ll have measure the sound hole later. Pm me with info and prices for your covers. Thanks
