| Not Just a Pretty Face! If you play an acoustic guitar live in the studio or at almost any venue where you need to use amplification then you know that feedback is going to be one of your biggest problems Feedback happens mainly because the top of the guitar vibrates in tune with a frequency present in the PA or the instrument's amplifier. Lute Holes combat this problem by reducing the amount of vibration in the guitar's top and disrupting or diffusing the movement of air emanating from the body of the guitar which in turn smoothes out any tonal peaks that you would otherwise get. This smoothing also helps recording and amplification by removing the need to use so much EQ. As you still get sound coming from the sound hole you can use an external microphone to capture your sound as well. The Lute Hole installs in seconds and can be removed equally quickly. They are made from solid wood so, if you have woodworking skills, you can modify them - we have even had people fitting magnetic pickups to the top of them or hanging internal mikes from them. |
| Does it Fit? If your guitar has a standard 4" diameter sound hole and the fretboard does not protrude into this then fitting is the work of seconds - simply work the Lute Hole gently into the sound hold and the Lute Hole's foam rubber gasket will grip the edge of the sound hole to provide a firm mount. Most high-end USA manufactured guitars have 4" sound holes but you can simply measure yours to check. But, if you are still unsure then please contact us! |
