From coffee shop gigs to rock bands, outdoor weddings to studio sessions - string players now need amplification more than ever. But where do you start when your classical training never covered pickups, preamps, or pedals?
In this book, Harry Hunt Jr. demystifies the world of string instrument amplification with the same care you'd use explaining vibrato or bow technique. Written for musicians willing to learn new skills, this book breaks down technical concepts into practical, manageable steps.
You'll discover:
The essential equipment every amplified string player needs How to choose between pickups, microphones, and electric instruments Step-by-step setup instructions that prevent feedback and harsh tone Budget-friendly recommendations that sound professional Creative effects that enhance your sound without losing your instrument's voice
Whether you're a classically-trained violinist joining your first rock, hip hop or pop band, a fiddler tired of being drowned out by drums, or a cellist looking for reliable outdoor sound, this book transforms amplification from intimidating to intuitive.
The acoustic richness you've spent years developing deserves to be heard. Let ""Amplification Made Easy"" be your friendly guide to bringing your string playing into any musical setting with confidence and clarity.
