Q: Banjo pickups that work well

K&K Sound Banjo Twin - Piezo discs, passive, mounts inside under bridge feet Definity - Piezo sensor, passive, mounts on top under middle foot of bridge KNA BP-1 - rectangular piezo that glues to head below center foot of bridge on inside. Schatten BJ-02 – rectangular piezo that glues to head below center foot of bridge on inside. LR Baggs Banjo Pickup – bridge with integrated pickup EMG ACB Barrel - active magnetic pickup that senses a steel shim attached to the head. Much more linear with better results than magnetic pickups that sense the string movement.
