St. Anne's Reel

A snippet of St Anne's Reel using my new little amplifier. (My dulcimer tends to get drowned out when we jam with 8 guitars, handful of banjos and a couple of fiddles.)

My New Honeytone Amp

My little HoneyTone amp arrived along with my $7 pickup. I think they sound great - especially for the price. I tried it on the uke and and ubass. They worked fine on both, but picked up all the noise from touching the instrument too. I will need a smaller, non-clip-on pickup for those two so I can mount it inside the body. The concert uke sounded great with the pickup up under the neck.

But my dulcimer needed the amplification the most. It couldn't be heard at the jam sessions with six guitars, two or three banjos, mandolins and what have you. Now I'm thinking I need a pedal switch to have volume for lead and less volume for backup. Even an on-off switch would work. I'd just be playing acoustically when playing backup.
