* Yates custom pickups use graduated neodymium magnets to address the inherent imbalance in mandolin family instruments across the string courses (‘e’ usually being weak). Adjustable pole pieces are also included for fine balance adjustments. The pickups are scatter wound to reduce capacitance and loss of high frequencies.

You can check out the sound of the Launde electric mandolin in the video clips below. The video is captured directly into an iPhone, with no sound processing, so it is quite raw, but hopefully gives a general sense of the sound characteristics. Please contact me if you would like to arrange to try it for yourself.
