THE FEATHER-2" ACCORDION PICKUP with 2 FLEXIBLE MICRO-GOOSENECK MICS by Myers Pickups ~ See it in ACTION! Copy and paste: myerspickups.com

The microphone is despatched direct from the manufacturer. The unit is supplied with a carrying bag and several different mounting options to suit most instruments. I'm using this microphone on an English concertina and, as supplied, none of the mountings will work satisfactorily by themselves, this is because of the construction of the instrument. There is not enough room between the thumb straps and the instrument to easily use the crocodile clips, neither is there enough room to use the plastic slide on clips or any surface which is big enough to take the suction cup.I solved the problem simply by making a bracket which fits under the thumb strap screw (between the screw and the strap to avoid damaging your instrument) and then simply using whichever mounting you are happy with. Other supplied items are :-1. a belt clip for the control/volume unit2. spare battery (one is fitted from the factory)3. self adhesive Velcro type pads for mounting belt clip on the control unit4. two foam wind guards for the microphones5. operating and battery changing instructions6. a contact card for your records. The control box is constructed in lightweight plastic and has a volume control and a standard jack output. The unit is low impedance however 'Myers' recommend that it is used via a DI box to match impedances with your system. The microphones do not need 48v phantom power.The microphone worked straight out of the box and after fitting the brackets mentioned above mounting was straightforward. There was a clean response over all the range and there were no problems with feedback despite sitting within 6 feet of the speakers.The microphones didn't add any unwanted colour or background noise into the signal and they did produce an accurate sound on my instrument.CONCLUSION:The system gives mounting solutions for several different instruments as supplied (although not an English concertina, see above).The system is lightweight.It does exactly what it says on the box with no drama or surprisesI am not sure how the plastic construction of the control box would stand up to life on the road, only time will tell.I would recommend this system to anyone who is trying to amplify an English concertina.

I had originally purchased the Feather 2 pickup for my accordion, but found it cumbersome because of the amount of placements, so it did not work well for me on my Hohner 120 bass accordion. I asked Greg Meyers if I could return it, and he was so accommodating, suggesting that I try the Grip Plus 6 with bass extension. I have tried it and really, really like it. It fits easily onto my accordion, and the sound is sooo nice. So much easier for me to attach to the accordion. I returned the original product and received the Grip plus 6 at no additional charge. This sure is a great company to deal with, communication is awesome.

Extremely quality sound output. Easy to use. I perform with a band, and I was never heard fully before this.

Top quality mic I bought another 3 and Greg is just incredibly useful. Customer service is outstanding

Tiny and fragile, but great sound quality. Came with multiple ways to mount to instrument.
