For optimum play detection, mount the TraqFreq securely on the surface with the supplied adhesive tape.
The ideal transmission range can be obtained by mounting the TraqFreq with the logo facing away from the instrument (see photograph below), as this is where the antenna is housed.
Brass
All Brass Inside the body, or behind the headstock.
Strings
Acoustic Guitar Inside the body, or behind the headstock.
Banjo On the external rim or internally on the pot.
Bass Guitar Behind the headstock.
Electric Guitar Behind the headstock.
Cello Under the fingerboard or bridge or in a more accessible area.
Double Bass Under the fingerboard or bridge or in a more accessible area.
Harp Wherever preferred
Mandolin Inside the body or behind the headstock, or anywhere on the body.

Violins & Violas Mount on a bracket directly. These optional brackets will soon be available for purchase in our store.
Woodwinds
All Woodwinds The instrument needs to be large enough to house the TraqFreq - for example, the clarinet and oboe. For these types of woodwinds, mount where space allows.
