My wife Amy and I recently moved from Utah to Bonney Lake, Washington and we are having lots of fun getting to know and play with some of the musicians through the Tacoma Celtic players. As a relatively new player of the English concertina I would like to ask for advise about electronic amplification.
I have been playing with others musicians who plug in. (fiddle, mandolin, bodran, whistle, guitars.) When I play with a mike I don't get much amplification on the instrument. I'm thinking there must be a way to install a pick-up and run it through a pre-amp to a portable amp that will make the instrument be heard (at-times not a good thing.)
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Geoff and Amy Bury
