Yesterday I grabbed an ART Tube MP Studio Mic Preamp and a MXL V63M Studio Condenser Microphone, in order to record vocals. Would a condenser mic be decent with a wind instrument? I could run a few effects pedals after the preamp, I suppose.

What we did with the rainstick was cut a slot about mid way for the pickup to fit into. It picks the sound of the moving sand inside the stick fine. I don't know how it would work with a wind instrument though. What about a lavalier type mini microphone clipped on the end of the Digi?

Thanks! I had looked at that one before, but thought that it would only work on stringed instruments. I also don't really know where to stick it. Would I just stuff it up the end of my didge? LOL

The LR Baggs iBEAM Active Acoustic Guitar Pickup System combines an all-discrete, Class A FET preamp built on a stereo Strapjack and pre-tuned to deliver plug-and-play LR Baggs performance. The preamp also features a second active input, so you can easily run a second pickup to complement the LR Baggs iBeam.

Which brand and model pickup did you use on the rainstick? I'm wondering if one of L.R. Baggs' piezo pickups would work well...

Dulci,

We installed a piezio pickup on my wifes rainstick, which works slick as all can be.

Thanks, dude! I'm wondering what my didge would do through my stereo phaser pedal! :)

Brian Ritchie (Violent Femmes) plays dijeridoo but I'm not sure how he sends the signal to the board. Maybe you could go to their site and contact him about it. If I see him, I'll ask about it since we both live in the Milwaukee area.

Thanks! I enjoyed the video a lot! That dude is really cool!

I might try an upright bass pick-up, if I can find one at a decent price. I'm hoping to run it through some effects processing for some insanity. ;)

I want to be an endorser of D'Addario and Planet Waves products, too! :)

I'm sorry that no one here at the moment seems to have experience miking a bassoon. I did go see Xavier Rudd recently and he mics his dijeridus, but I didn't get a good look at them. He's pretty wild if you have never seen him before. He plays acoustic, lap steel, sings, plays percussion and throws in a little dijeridu for good measure. He's a D'Addario endorsee too! Check him out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n5saAhdB2k There actually a quick shot of the dijerdu up close and you can see the mic wire going in there but that's about it...

He's a talented and interesting guy. Enjoy!

I play a digeridoo, and am wanting to use an electric pickup with it. A pickup from an upright bass fiddle has been recommended, but I wondered if a pickup designed for wind instruments might be better. Has anyone installed a pickup on a bassoon?
