A soundhole accessible musical instrument control platform mounted inside
the body of a musical instrument requires no physical alterations to the
instrument, allowing the user convenient and ergonomic access to the
control platform through the soundhole while using the musical
instrument. The control platform includes a circuit platform, mounted
inside the instrument with adhesives, separably attached to a mounting
bracket. Control detents and markings are easy to feel and to read and
thus provide feedback for control position and the relative degree of
effect. The controls are surrounded by a cosmetic bezel that hides the
actual mounting mechanism and circuitry. Any combination of controls,
circuitry, and sensors may be used. Power is either provided onboard or
offboard. An output connector may be integrated into the circuit platform
or via an endpin jack. Input signal connectors, present on the circuit
platform, are configured to accept pickups that are mounted either
internally or externally to the body of the musical instrument, or to
accept a combination of internal and external pickup mounts.
