Safe and quick install
Just mount the pickup jack housing onto the lower bout, just below the F-hole on your instrument’s 1st (E) string pair side. Insert the wooden sensor into the bridge, between the base and the top, in the middle of the thumbwheels.
Onboard volume control
Players can control their output signal onstage or in the studio from the pickup-mounted volume knob.
Wood housing and sensor
The jack housing is encased in elegant and stylish ebony. The piezo sensor has a lightweight wooden casing to achieve maximum tonal sensitivity and transmission.
Natural sound
MP-2 has a passive design that reproduces the instrument’s natural sound with no need for a battery.
Protection for your instruments finish
The adjustable clamps have protective cork at each point of contact to prevent damage to your instrument’s finish.
Compatible with all types of flat-backed mandolins
The pickup is designed to fit perfectly on A- and F- body style flat-backed mandolins with adjustable base-and-top style bridges.
