Schatten BM-1 Series For Bouzouki, Mandola, Fixed Bridge Mandolins

Stick-On Pickup Attaches To The Existing Bridge

...you don't have to change the bridge on your instrument in order to get a good sounding pickup.

Simple - The new BM-1 Series of pickups was designed with a lengthened sensor element to enable it work properly on the bridges of Bouzouki's, Mandola's, fixed non-adjustable Mandolins and Citterns that traditionally have a wider string spacing format than a standard mandolin. This series of pickups allows you to add a pickup system to your instrument without having to change the bridge or modify anything . Featuring our new MVC jack assemblies (which simply attach to the underside of the existing tailpiece), the BM-1's offer a real alternative to pickups that require bridge replacement.

Secure - The MVC jack assemblies give you a much more secure and reliable mounting for an output jack assembly than anything that clamps to the side of the instrument. The jack assembly, which nestles in right next to the tail piece, is only a half an inch high and mounts to the tailpiece (not to the body).
