Myers Pickups Accordion Pickup with Flexible Micro-Gooseneck

This little pickup is worthy of praise. It finds the true sound of my instrument (accordion) and with a small amp. I have just the bigger sound needed for outdoor and hall performance. I unfortunately was unable to use it because of attachment problems with my instrument (wood surface made suction cup not very effective, and I was a sissy fearful of marring the beautiful surface with either adhesive backed velcro or external screws). So I sadly chose to return the little gem.The customer service at Meyers was outstanding. At first I misunderstood the suggestions offered for alternative attachment methods, and still wanted to return the pickup for refund. After several solicitous emails from Meyers, seeking to satisfy hesitancy and solve my dilemma, I did return the item, after all, but with full refund, no cost shipping, usps pickup of package at my rural mail box, and a friendly offer of help and/or service in the future.Such customer service is a textbook example of how retail business SHOULD work. Thank you Greg MeyersI have recommended Meyers to my guitar playing friends,as well as to my flute, mando and fiddle playing colleagues...without reservation! As for me? Maybe when I have another accordion...celluloid surface....Yes! Meyers..

The pickup is fantastic. Small and so simple to use it is ridiculous. I run it with a Shure wireless pack on my accordion and I sound like a BEAST. I wish I had this product years ago. The design is rock solid and I can see years of excellent usage from it.But let us discuss the real value of this product, and that is Greg who builds these things. His customer service is OUTSTANDING. Before purchasing mine I emailed to ask about placement and he was fast and friendly in his reply. A few weeks later, after having used it successfully for a dozen shows it stopped working and I happened to call on a Sunday, assuming I was just going to be leaving a message on a company phone. Greg himself answered and as he figured out almost instantly, it was merely a dead battery caused by my own negligence- it very clearly states in the user guide not to leave it plugged in or it will drain the battery and guess what, I left it plugged in for a week. My bad. New battery. Problem solved. Back in business.Thank you Greg for running things the way all companies should be. Thank you for making a great product. Thank you for being a great guy!

I am extraordinarily pleased with this product.I play accordion in a church choir and have always had difficulty in terms of amplification. It's been an issue I've struggled with for years. Typically, I end up just camping out in front of a condenser mic and hope that the sound technician can pick up my signal and mix it in with the other voices/instruments. I'm forced to stay in a relatively stationary position and had mixed success on having myself heard at all.Since getting this product a month ago, I am utterly sold on it's effectiveness. It allows me to have more natural playing posture as well as having the freedom to move around a bit. The suction cup grip is solid and have not had any issues of it falling off. The signal that comes through is decently strong; it works for solo performance as well as simple recording. However, I did end up grabbing a pre-amp mixer to give my signal the extra "punch" to more easily keep up with other electrified instruments (guitar, keyboard, etc.). I have gotten positive feedback from both my fellow musicians as well as members of the congregation. Like the documentation states, it takes some experimentation to find the optimum position for getting the sound you want. I've even been able to use this pickup for amplifying some of my other acoustic instruments and it is quite effective. Though I may end up going for the "The Feather" Model.Finally, I'd like to mention my experience with the owner Gregg Myers. Gregg is very keen on winning over customers one at a time and has reached out to keep me informed on shipping detail as well as to make sure I am completely satisfied with the product. Seeing other people's feedback on their interaction with Gregg was honestly one of the deciding factors in my ordering of this pickup. This is not a wholesale manufacturer trying to sell as many items as possible, but a personal interaction that is rare in the age of internet shopping.
