Comments: This Soundhole Mic was given to me many years ago. And I have now been trying to locate it at the internet but can't find a single word about it! So if somebody out there could tell me where to buy one I'd be grateful. Maybe it's an old Bill Lawrence product, but nothing on his site. The company: Lawrence sound Research, Inc. Industrial Park, Mt. Juliet, Tennesse 37122 USA. The sound is rich, warm and natural. Lots of wood in the sound. It simply sounds as my old Martin D 18. Add an equalizer to it and you have all the control you want. Played recently with a folk band. They had Martins and built in mices, but they were just stunned by the sound I had from this probably cheap soundhole mic. Playing in a bluegrass band often tends to give feed-back troubles for the guitar player when using a normal mic. I still prefer to use an old fashioned mic but this Lawrence soundhole mic solves the feed-back problem, and you (and the audience!) can hear what you play! So to me it's a great alternative when sound problems occur.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this pickup a: 10 Fantastic value
