Helpinstill Piano Sensor
Share
The only magnetic pickup system for amplifying pianos, it has provided the stage sound for hundreds
The Helpinstill Piano Sensor uses a patented method to track the vibration of the strings of a piano. Putting that electrical signal into a speaker happens to duplicate the sound of the piano, but without any other instruments around the piano being picked up. The Helpinstill also permits the piano to be amplified at high volume levels without feedback, since the system doesn't rely on air waves within the piano.

One of our oft-repeated slogans here at Helpinstill is this: "When you buy a Helpinstill system, you're not just getting piece of equipment, you're getting a solution to your problem, and we intend to keep it solved!"

Nancy Dalbey Wheeler gave Alicia and I an early Christmas present- tickets to a Ben Folds concert at Jones Hall (Houston) last night. Much to my surprise, he decided to interrupt the show midway, announce that I was in the house, and tell the whole story of how he discovered Helpinstill piano pickups. Later we met with him backstage, and he graciously recounted his opinion that I "made his career possible."

'Tis the season! My sister and I loved this recording when it came out in 1958 (we had it on a 45!) It's message seems more relevant today than ever. Many of the references to commercials are dated now, and unrecognizable to millennials, but it's still fun.

We were flattered to be invited to a Houston concert by Vanessa Williams and her band of renowned musicians last night. They are long-time users of our systems and knew we were based in Houston.
LONG-TIME HELPINSTILL USER WINS ACADEMY AWARD!
Volker Bertelmann, known to us at Helpinstill as "Hauschka," took home an Oscar last night for Best Original Score for his work on "All Quiet On the Western Front." He also was previously nominated (in 2017) for his score for "Lion." He has been buying and using the Helpinstill Piano Sensor systems since at least 2011, and his most recent Helpinstill purchase was just last month for a new Model 280 Phantom-Powered Grand Sensor, our top-of-the-line piece of equipment. Congrats Hauschka/Volker!
