Step 3: Mark Pickup Element Locations

Find the paper pickup locating template. Poke an awl or a nail

through any circles that are labeled for your harp model.

Fold the template on the dotted line near its pointed end. Tape

the fold flat.

Slide the template into the harp through the bottom sound-

hole, folded end first.

Place the template on the soundboard with the edge against the

soundboard lining on the left side of the harp. The lining is the

strip of wood that covers the joint between the soundboard and

the side of the harp. Position the template so the folded end

points directly at the highest F (blue) string (see figure 4). Tape

the template in place.

If you have a Dusty Double-Strung, see the sidebar on the right for

specific element location.

If you have a non-Dusty harp, see gray box below for more info.

Figure 4 – Marking Template pointing at high F

Mark a pencil dot directly on the soundboard through each of

the holes you made in the template, or at the ends of the arrows

if the circles don't apply to your harp model.

Testing Placement in a Non-Dusty Harp

Before gluing the pickup elements to the soundboard of a non-Dusty Strings harp, we advise using double-stick

tape to temporarily place the elements on the outside of the soundboard, using the template so you can find the

same locations when you permanently install the pickup inside. Then, plug into your amplifier and see how it

sounds. You can tweak the sound a bit by adjusting the positions of the elements. Generally, moving the pickups

toward the middle of the soundboard will increase the signal strength (loudness) and moving them toward the

side of the harp will decrease the signal strength. Find the balance that is best for your harp. Be aware that the

overall signal strength will be diminished by using the double-stick tape. There will be a much stronger signal

once the elements are glued in and the glue has cured.

Pickup Placement in a Dusty Double-Strung

The upper two elements will be placed in the

center, between the two rows of strings (see fig-

ure 5A), and the lowest element will be placed

towards the left side of the soundboard (see fig-

ure 5B). For the lowest element, mark a pencil

dot on the soundboard at the end of the arrow

on the template. For the upper two elements,

follow where each arrow points and make your

mark in the center of the soundboard.
