Preface
Many pianists are facing the problem that their performances become difficult since they can hardly listen to their own piano sound in loud sound ensemble such as with electric instruments. It is very hard for them to solve this problem by themselves because an ordinary microphone would likely cause another problem like howling.
The existing pick-up systems for piano in the market are very useful with its less howling margin and capabilities of amplifying without over-dominating sound around the piano. But still many products might have the following unsolved problems:
- Unnatural reproduction of sound tones compared with those via microphone
- Unstable sound for long time use
- Spot or scratch would remain on the surface after removed
- The piano owner, afraid of spot/scratch trouble would possibly refuse to utilize it
- Out of order after a number of uses
By introducing the new concept of
Force Mode Pick-up System
(FMPS), we have succeeded to develop the new pick-up system without the above troubles even in the frequent uses by the professional pianists.
It would promise that they could obtain ideal self-monitoring environment when they use our compact pick-up system.
It can be easily set in the piano by the players themselves in short time without damaging the instrument if carefully set as explained in the next clauses.
