This is what my teacher uses. It's exactly the same as the k&k twinspot except the pickup head wires are thicker. If this is at least the same price as the k&k it's worth considering: www.thomann.de/gb/shadow_shb1.htm?sid=3eef58e671ea5e4dca02a7ed26853afbWhereas on the liuqin because it's quite bright the tone on the amp can be turned down, on the zhongruan the tone could be turned up.

This could work well on the ruan. I checked the price at Mucian's Friend, and at $71.00 US, not very expensive. I'm planning on getting an amp next year which has a five band graphic EQ and it could work well with this pickup. Unfortunately, there is no video of it in use on You Tube, but if it can work well for the banjo it should be equally good on the ruan (wow, what irony).

My teacher listened to my k&k pickup/Roland Microcube combination and he asked me what I felt. I replied I couldn't tell if the amp was on or not. That, he said, was the sign of a good pickup/amp.

He's right about that. Glad to hear it (so to speak)!
