This is a bit of a long shot, but here goes... I am thinking about purchasing a contact microphone to use in conjunction with a Schertler Unico Deluxe. I don't have any experience with this type of pickup, so I'm asking for advice. This mic would be used to amplify a couple of high-end...

Fellow UUers: I've begun learning to sing with the aid of a 30-watt acoustic amp, which really draws attention to my Kala's lackluster stock electronics. I tolerate the shortcomings in the pickup and preamp when I use a 5-watt modeling amp for home practice, but when issued forth from a...
