CONTACT MICROPHONE (OPTIONAL)

The Sabine CM-1 Contact Microphone makes tuning an acoustic instrument as easy as tuning an electric
guitar. It has a removable rubber suction cup to stick the mic directly onto the instrument. The CM-1 is ideal for
tuning an acoustic guitar in a noisy room or for tuning instruments that have very short tones like banjos or
mandolins. Ask you dealer for the Sabine CM-1 Contact Microphone
