I play guitar on my own, at open mic nights, and as part of a weekly get-together for guitarists, and as part a reggae band, for fun.

comment What is the recommended way to amplify a jarana?
You can spend as little as $10 or over $100. I can't make a reliable comment about how well the quality matches the price.

comment Violin Pickup that will sound like natural violin?
... also bear in mind that when the sound levels are so loud that feedback is a real problem, people's ears and brains are too overloaded to appreciate subtleties of tone in any case. Sorry about the multiple comments. Lots to say that's not quite good enough to put into an answer.

comment Violin Pickup that will sound like natural violin?
I wonder whether an additional approach would be to place multiple soundboard transducers, to pick up frequencies from various parts of the board; then mix and EQ the outputs to taste.

A transducer won't be "100% feedback resistant" either, and a sufficiently focussed mic might well be resistant enough for feedback.

comment Why does closing a recorder bell raise the pitch sometimes and lower the pitch other times?
There is a good explanation of the physics of recorder fingering at flute-a-bec.com/acoustiquegb.html -- I'm not confident in my ability to summarise into an answer to your question though.
