Reason for pickup change:

Perceived output level:
Tone: very accurate and balanced
Sonic evaluation: This pickup is great. It's very accurate and natural sounding--which might be a bad thing if your instrument doesn't sound very good--like mine. If I were to choose another pickup, I might choose one with a little bit more colouration to disguise the fact that my mandolin SHOULD sound a lot better than it really does.

For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: bluegrass, classical, etc.

Overall Rating : 10
Comments: This is a great value. It's very accurate. Like I said previously, it makes your instrument sound exactly the same, only louder. This is a good thing if your instrument sounds good, but if yours doesn't, you might want to find a transducer that adds something to your tone. But the McIntyre is a professional product that you should definitely check out.
