ATTACHING THE PICKUP
The EAP can be moved easily between different instruments. The pickup
is easy to attach using adhesive on the sound box. The pickup can also
be attached to the inside of the instrument via the sound hole.
Each instrument is unique, which is why the positioning of the pickup
needs to be tested in advance. The first time you do this, it can take some
time before you find the best position. We know from experience that it is
worth the time it takes to find the ideal position for the pickup, so that the
people in front of you get a musical experience that is the same as if you
were playing without amplification. Some musicians have made a card-
board template to fit against part of the instrument, which makes it easier
to attach the pickup in the same place for every performance.
Some examples of positions that usually work really well.
