Celtic harp pickup recommendation
Anyone here have experience amplifying a Celtic harp for the stage?
Even at venues with good PA sound systems and a good house mix engineer, our harpist in the Celtic band I play with can't get enough volume level before feedback occurs when she uses two regular stage mics, unless the high frequencies are drastically cut. Therefore, she either has good tone but not enough volume, or sufficient volume but poor tone - with neither scenario being satisfactory. The Schertler DYN-H-P48 pickup seems like a good choice. https://secure.schertler.com/en_US/s...kups/dyn-h-p48 Anyone here have experience with this harp pickup? Any other good harp pickups that I should have her evaluate? Thanks |

The Schertler looks like a good choice (if you've always got phantom power or a preamp that provides it) but if I was looking to amplify a harp these days I'd look very carefully at the Schatten CH-3 pickup... Phil

Fishman's harp dot, especially one plugged into a Platinum Pro EQ/DI, looks like a good solution, as well. |

My wife has a Dusty Strings FH36 and a Camac Clio pedal harp. We tried a bunch of pickups and found that we liked the McIntyre pickup the best. Personally i was suprised, I do not like his pickups for guitar.
I think we have the Schatten around here somewhere if you want to buy a used one.

Thanks - I'll mention to her that you perhaps have a Schatten available. Is the pickup the CH-3 model? |

The CH-3 Artist is what it says on it.
