comment Practice amp for a flute/piccolo
@vjones -- The problem is that the direct sound from the instrument is too loud (and damaging to her ears).

Unfortunately, most "in-ear-monitoring headphone preamps" don't have mike inputs -- that Fischer unit seems to be about the only one that does.

comment WHY do harmonics happen?
Actually, the plucked string vibrates at several superimposed frequencies. "Added" together they describe the complex shape the string takes on. But you are correct that the "sympathetic" vibration of adjacent strings has a significant effect (as of course does the instrument body). Of particular note would be instruments with distinct sympathetic elements that are never directly "excited" such as the Hardanger fiddle.

The noise cancelling probably isn't necessary, but earphones that block outside noise well.

I'll add that it would be nice if the box had only 1/8" inputs/outputs. I don't see that XLRs are needed here.
