KNABP-1 Passive Piezo Pickup for Banjo
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
KNA’s BP-1 is a passive piezo pickup for banjo, housed in lightweight tonewood. The sensor mounts on the side of the bridge, so installation does not require modifying the bridge or instrument. Its detachable format keeps the pickup portable between uses, and it accepts a standard 1/4-inch cable. The pickup is designed to capture the banjo with a natural amplified tone while keeping the installation approach straightforward.
