<p>I can't stand piezo pickups, so I admit my bias up front. That said, I've had good luck with magnetic pickups with resonators overall. I'll stick a mic in front if I really need to, but I'm usually moving around too much on stage to make that worthwhile.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here's a cut off my EP with a magnetic pickup on a cheap Rogue resonator. It's played through a dirty Honeytone amp, but you get the idea.</p>

<p>Hi Tim</p>
<p>Yes mate to a certain degree you do get some reso sound from a Magnetic Pickup but the best method of amplifiying a reso is using a mic but this also has problems - because of the sound chamber and air pressure within the chamber this can cause a mic to feedback - there are mic systems available for resonators and Acoustic guitars but the ones that work best are very expensive <a href="http://highlanderpickups.com/catalog/magno.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Highlander…</a></p>

<p>i have also experimented with Piezo discs in the resonator but with no great outcome - the best results i had was to sandwich a piezo disc in the Biscuit bridge but really you only get the sound of the strings not the Reso tone</p>
<p>below is a recording i made on the Mayorga Resonator i made you can hear a little of the reso tone this was using a Magnetic pickup - tunes Early Morning Blues and Reso Blues</p>
