INSTALLATION

On an upright piano, the three transducer heads are mounted on the back of the sound-board. On a grand piano,

the transducers are mounted to the bottom. There are two installation options:

For this method, attach the transducers with a well-sized strip of fabric tape or duck tape (not supplied). The gold

side of the pickup should be in contact with the instrument. Press the tape thoroughly around the disc's edge.

This installation is ideal if you wish to use the Pure Piano with different pianos.

This method attaches the Pure Piano permanently with superglue gel. Important: Before mounting the

transducer please determine the optimal transducer positions (described below) to pick up your piano or grand

piano! The permanent mounting technique results in the most direct and high volume transmission and is best

for stationary instruments in clubs or studios.

First, determine the exact position for the three transducer heads by locating the bridges within the piano. The

location of the bridges will be audible by knocking on the soundboard. If the sound is muffled, you are directly

on the inner bridge. If it sounds hollow, you are over the "free" soundboard.

Next, mark the location of the bridges with tape or a pen. You can also measure out the bridges' positions and

transfer the sketch to the backside of the soundboard. If the bridges are screwed on, simply locate them by

where the screws are.
