^ How exactly would I do that? What kinds of pedals and how is the routing set up? I am not sure I follow.

Would have to be 2 effects chains in parallel with a gate or cv/mod input on each. Each output of the mbirra would be split into audio feed and trigger output. Would probably be a pain to do with hardware, but really simple with Ableton or other software. Sorry, my brain always goes there first...

I think I got a lead for you, Nora.

Ask 'em what happened to the frame and all the strings:

Too far, its local pickup only. Thanks though.

I don't think I am going to pick up that one I saw for $45. I don't like the looks of the neighborhood.

Thanks for the well wishes. Unfortunately, I already treated myself earlier today:

So I want a mbira with a piezo pickup. Not something giant and crazy like the Array Mbira, though. Something smaller and more reasonable. Where do I get one?

I don't think I have ever seen any commercially available mbira's with pickups, but I have seen kalimba's with pickups. Link below. I think I am going to buy one of these too actually.

If you really want an mbira, not a kalimba, and wanna mic an mbira, and don't mind the looks, you can just tape a piezo on the back of it. I have done that and it works well. The only thing about the piezo though, if your mbira has buzzers like bottlecaps or shells, the piezo won't really pick the buzzing up.

If you get one, be sure to let me know and post some clips. I would love to hear it. :thumb:

To be totally honest, I have no idea what the difference between a kalimba, karimba, and mbira even is. But that link is exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

Because I'm an American and according to UglyCasanova we are all stupid cunts. So, I have no choice.
