An electric pickup device for a banjo includes a piezoelectric element located in a recess in the bottom of one foot of the bridge for the instrument, so as to be located at the interface of the bridge and the head. The pickup element can be oriented so that its axes form an angle with the plane of the head, to thereby provide improved results. The pickup enables the banjo to be played in either an acoustic or an electronic amplification mode without affecting the inherent acoustic properties of the instrument.
