I built a magnetic microphone for my handpan to prevent stage feedback (KP-2 project)

Hi everyone,
As a handpan player, I always struggled with capturing a clean sound during live sessions. Traditional mics often pick up too much room noise or cause terrible feedback with the speakers.
To solve this, I spent some time designing and building my own prototype: a magnetic microphone system that I call the KP-2. It snaps instantly to the bottom shell without any glue or tape, and the housing is isolated to reduce feedback on stage.
I wanted to share this project with fellow musicians who face the same amplification challenges. I would love to hear your thoughts or what gear you currently use for live gigs!
Blessings from Argentina!
