Hip-Harp Amplification Kit (for harp, piano, dobro, dulcimer, kalimba or any other straight-soundboard instrument) - includes everything you need to turn your instrument from acoustic to electro-acoustic instrument! Includes pre-amp, transducer (aka "pickup"), cables, instructions, and Deborah's book "The Second Edition of The Gurl's Guide to Amplification" chock-full of DHC's notes, drawings and anecdotes about amplification.

$335.00 includes book.

PLEASE NOTE: In order to use this kit, you will still need either an amplifier or a PA system. If you are using a PA system, you may also need a "direct box." What this system does is make your acoustic harp into an electro-acoustic harp -- kind of like making an acoustic guitar into an electro-acoustic guitar. You still need the amp -- but now YOU CAN PLUG RIGHT IN!
