Description

The D’Addario Screeching Halt Acoustic Soundhole Cover is a simple, effective accessory for acoustic and electro acoustic guitarists who amplify their instruments. Ideal for singer songwriters, gigging players, church bands, school ensembles, open mic nights and buskers, it slips into your guitar’s soundhole to tame the resonant air cavity that can howl at stage volume. With a quick press fit you can turn up monitors or stand closer to the PA without worrying about squeals. It is equally useful in rehearsals where room acoustics are tricky, letting you focus on your playing rather than fighting the sound. Keep one in your case and be ready for any room.

Built from soft, finish safe rubber, Screeching Halt forms a gentle, secure seal that will not mark your instrument. The low profile rim makes installation and removal fast between songs, with no tools and no modification. Compared with basic soundhole plugs, the D’Addario design offers a precise, snug fit for most standard round soundholes, helping suppress feedback while keeping your plugged in tone clear and natural. There is no rattle, no harsh muting of the pickup response, and no adhesive to fail. It is a durable, gig ready solution you can trust night after night.

For UK tuition and school use, this cover is a practical way to keep amplified acoustics under control in assembly halls, classrooms and practice rooms. Teachers can maintain consistent levels for ensembles, and students can rehearse with confidence on stage or in amplified lessons. It takes seconds to fit or remove, making it perfect for shared instruments and quick changeovers. For home practice with an electro acoustic through an amp or interface, it helps reduce unwanted resonance so you can work at sensible volumes. Affordable, compact and reliable, Screeching Halt delivers great value and real world usefulness for learners and seasoned players alike.

Features

Effective feedback control

By blocking the guitar’s soundhole, Screeching Halt reduces the internal resonance that causes feedback when you amplify an acoustic. You can use higher stage volumes, stand closer to monitors and PA speakers, and keep your sound stable in difficult rooms.

Finish safe, quick fit design

Made from soft, instrument safe rubber, the cover forms a secure seal without marking your guitar. It installs in seconds with a simple press fit and removes just as quickly, with no tools, no adhesive and no permanent modification to your instrument.

Keeps your plugged in tone clear

The snug, low profile design controls howl without choking your pickup’s response, helping your amplified tone remain natural, full and articulate. Enjoy dependable feedback suppression without sacrificing musicality.

Ready for stage, studio and school

Compact and durable, Screeching Halt is ideal for gigs, rehearsals, worship settings, open mics and classroom ensembles. It is easy to share between instruments and fits neatly in a case pocket, so it is always on hand when you need it.
