Since a soundboard vibrates differently in different
places, you can get diferent sounds by carefully
selecting the spot where you mount the pickup.
Section 3.2 describes proven techniques that you
may want to use as starting points for your own
experiments.
If you are going to attach the pickup to a lacquer-
ed surface, check the condition of the lacquer
coat first.
If the lacquer coat is porous or cracked, the ad-
hesive compound will lose some of its tack and
may damage the lacquer coat further when you re-
move the pickup.
1. Remove the backing from the supplied ad-
hesive compound.
2. Press some of the adhesive compound (just
enough to cover the "footprint" of the pickup)
on the underside of the pickup.
3. Press the pickup onto the bridge of your instru-
ment or onto the soundboard, near the bridge.
