Method and apparatus are disclosed for a magnetic sensor for use with a musical instrument having magnetic vibrating elements. The magnetic sensor has two magnetic poles and comprises a flexible, electrostatically shielded coil-magnet, a cable coupled to the coil of the coil-magnet, and flexible non-conductive material encompassing the electrostatically shielded coil-magnet. The magnetic sensor may be attached to the frame of the instrument, so that one of its magnetic poles is in proximity to the vibrating elements of the instrument. Methods are also disclosed for adapting and converting an upright piano for electronic amplification by utilizing the magnetic sensor of the present invention.
