Works a magnetic pickup by vibrations from the acoustics vibrations.
Bugman vibro coils.
I liked it:)
power to your elbow...fab
To try later
so would this work whether you use bronze, steel, or nylon strings?
pepsi might sound better'
Well, it's sure got some mean old swamp-tone going there...
Yes will try each item pice by piece till I figure this out
the coil on its own just covers one string as an electic device, so wouldnt do this job without something extra.
and if you lift this lot off the body you lose most of the volume.. so I think it is probabbly a vibration thing ...
the coil is a buzzer coil.... so...in reverse it should convert vibration to electricity?
I took out the Diagonal Ni magnet and it makes little difference, so i'm begiining to think this Buzzer coil might be picking up the guitar vibrations somehow, and the magnetic signal......I might just have invented a new form of guitar pickup!!!
(The old guitar is a dexian shelf fronted, old parlour guitar I made a while ago... with a 30's solid brass bridge! raised on wood to clear the nasty little pickup tester)
Nice experiment keep it up - once i have some spare time i'm going to have a play around with the alloy pickup setup
yes i guess it works on vidration rather than a electrical field like a regular pickup - aluminium is and has been used as reso cones for years because of its tonal quality so i guess this is working in the reverse order
have you tried using the magnets on there own and the electrical coil - or in other words use both the magnets and the coil but have the coil seperated from the magnet because thats what the lace alloy pickup seems to be set up as - the coil looks like its just used to boost the signal
