Special Features: Dean Markleyâs Artist pickup is once again a pickup which is so unique that it is patented. Housed in a maple wood housing, Artist Transducer gives you that sound that every professional artist wants. Through use of a lead differential weight the Dean Markley peizo reacts through compression rather than just bending, like all other Peizo pickups. This unique patented design gives Dean Markleyâs Artist Transducer its high quality sound at a price which is affordable. Artist Transducerâs special mounting adhesive allows the Artist to be mounted and removed many, many times without hurting the finish. The Artist has been on the market for over 17 years and weâve never had a complaint about it or the adhesive. The Artist pickup has many other uses besides amplifying acoustic guitars. Itâs a great pickup for Violin, Cello, Stand-up-Bass, Banjo, Mandolin, Piano, Horn, or practically anything else you would ever want to amplify. Weâve even had a mechanic use one to pickup (pardon the pun) knocks and vibrations in engines. The bottom line is: if it vibrates, the Artist Pickup will catch the vibrations. You do whatever you want with them after that.

Summary: Essential
Comment: I got them for my cello. I say them because live I use two of them in different spots, plus a mic. My cello now sounds amazing live... (well, better than before, and except for my out of tune notes!)...
Don't forget, you can literally record anything with these: stick them on an organ paired with a mic... put them on a bathtub... I like creative recording and I've found them very useful!

Summary: This is perfect!
Comment: My 15yo plays Mountain Dulcimer. A natural wood instrument- This piezo pickup is topped by a bit of wood. It blends nicely with her instrument. nothing metallic or shiny/glitzy about it. We use it with a yamaha practice amp and it sounds lovely!

Summary: High quality inexpensive pickup
Comment: This little pickup was the perfect solution for amplifying my classical guitar. Most acousitc pickups are magnetic and use a magnetic field to catch the sound, so that left me with very few options for amplifying my classical guitar (for those of you who don't know classical guitars have nylon strings). This was one of them. I ordered one due to the inexpensive price not knowing what I would get, but I was very impressed at the sound quality of this pickup. After adjusting the positioning on the guitar and the volume/tone controls on my amplifier, I got the guitar to sound like a mic'ed guitar...all of the guitar's natural unamplified tone was preserved, only the sound was louder. Just the sound I was looking for.
I also took time to try it on my steel-string guitar and mandolin and it performed very well on those as well.
The only drawback this pickup has is depending on the placement on the guitar you might experience a bit of feedback. The cable is very sensitive and will pick up on any movement. Other than that everything is great.
If you need quality amplification for your acoustic instrument and don't want to pay a small fortune for it, this is the pickup to get.
