KNA BP-1 Banjo Pickup – Portable Passive Piezo Bridge Pickup

The KNA BP-1 Banjo Pickup is a portable, bridge-mounted piezo pickup designed to capture the natural sound of your banjo without permanent modification. It mounts to the side of the bridge and uses a tailpiece-mounted output jack, making it a practical choice for live performance, rehearsals and amplified acoustic playing.

With its passive design, the BP-1 does not require a battery. The lightweight wooden sensor casing helps transfer the instrument’s natural vibration, giving players a clear and direct banjo sound through an amplifier, PA system or mixing desk.
