AMPLIFICATION KIT 

 

Fishman Amplification Kit (for harpists and other instrumentalists) - includes everything you need to turn your harp (or piano, or nylon-string guitar, or dobro, or dulcimer, or kalimba!) into an electro-acoustic instrument! Includes pre-amp, transducer (aka "pickup"), cables, instructions, and Deborah's book "The First Edition of The Gurl's Guide to Amplification for the Gurl in Everyone". Inside the guide are some of things that DHC has learned about sound amplification and definitions for some of the words that will help you communicate about sound equipment. This book is NOT for experts...but it IS for the Gurl in everyone. $295.00 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!

Have questions? Want more specific info? Then please see our online FAQ on the Fishman Kit (questions, answers, model numbers, etc).
