HIGH INDUCTANCE ELECTROMAGNETIC PICKUP FOR STRINGED MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

摘要

An electromagnetic pickup (10) for stringed musical instruments has at least one bobbin mountable to the instrument beneath the instrument's strings (14), each of the bobbins having a body and a coil wrapped around the body, the body having one or more holes therethrough positioned below the strings. A magnetic device for generating a magnetic field around the bobbins and one or more pole pieces (8) extended through the holes is also included. Ferromagnetic material is positoned within the body of one or more of the bobbins or between the bobbin(s) and the musical instrument to increase the device's inductance.
