From Bruce B
I at first replied that it wouldn't get used on a gig - -only at my home.
This is Bruce's reply:
FYI
" Details:
In that case, feedback is not a serious problem. I'd recommend our Mandolin Mic for your archtop. Just clip it onto an f-hole, either the inner side or outer side of the f-hole, whatever sounds best.
Will you connect the mic to an acoustic instrument amp, or to an audio interface? The Mandolin Mic has an XLR connector and requires phantom power. If your amp lacks phantom power, you need to purchase a phantom power supply such as the Behringer PS400 or the Rolls PB23.
If you prefer, I can custom-make you a Mandolin Mic-B with a battery pack instead of an XLR connector. The Mandolin Mic-B runs off a 9-volt battery which lasts about one year. The battery pack lies on the floor. You connect a guitar cord between the battery pack and your amp's 1/4" input. It would look like the Guitar Mic-B on our website:

Here's another image from Bruce Bartlett. He included a note that said the f-hole can be as small as 5/8 in. - -just orient the clip parallel to the hole and rotate it 90 degrees to attach.
Is this all that'd be exposed ? ( meaning no other mic ? )
Then it'd connect to the battery pack, then I'm guessing to a pre-amp, and then the amp......( right ? )
So far, this option looks to be the easiest to use.
Updates to follow.
Thx.

This still looks like the least intrusive / easiest to use...Wonder how they sound ......
Thx.

The Krivo christianm77 posted above with a video may be easiest to use if that is what you want. I assume it could be mounted with Blue Stick putty or something similar so you could just slap it on and plug it into an amp without phantom power or batteries. Maybe he can weigh in on how he mounts it.

Well, there is one way to find out how they sound.

Right, and be sure to let us know.

Dennis,
I put a Lollar gold foil floater on my '44 L7. Couldn't be happier.
Regarding the Barbera, I have one on a classical guitar that I use for latin tunes and I really like it too!
It belonged to Michael Biller, RIP, a dear friend who understood and was very exacting in his requirements for these things.
I didn't install either of them, so I can't comment on how much pain in the arse it is to do it.
There is a volume wheel under the pickguard on the L7.
Sounds very clean, and I've not ever noticed a hum.

Sort question: Does the Krivo micro Manouche work with bronze strings?
Thanks

Very good sound, no batteries to remember, no impact on acoustic tone. There when you need it. Practice installing first till you can pull it off when you add the super glue.
