I see this little thingy on your bridge. What kind of amplification do you use ?

Well when I play in front of non Flamenco ears I use a new pick up out of russia or something. It goes under the strings where they hook on the saddle so its not a permanent attachment. It realy has a wonderful sound.

THey didn't have a good mic at this concert and there was only a couple thousand people there so I wanted to be heard and there mics wouldn't cut it.

So I like to use that pick up and a mic on the guitar it gives it a powerful sound IMO.

I think if your worried about a putting a permanent pick up on your guitar than this is the pick up for you.

What ever happened to the one your friend was developing.

That wasn't me

Does the pick also amplify the golpes ?

I thought that was you, who was it. It doesn't amplify them like most pick ups.

Thats why I like to use the pick up and a mic. So I can be heard but still have that wooden sound.

That was Kate's friend developing the pickup. I haven't heard any updates on it.
