Your cart is empty.Portable piezo pickup with volume control. AP-2 is ideal for acoustic musicians looking for an easy, effective solution to amplifiy their instruments and control volume from the stage. A handsome wooden casing houses both the passive piezo sensor and a high quality volume potentiometer. Attaches safely with enough PowerTack adhesive for multiple applications, while a detachable 1/8" to 1/4" cable allows the pickup to remain in place during storage.

seems to work. But blue stickum was dried out and could not be made to soften..I used the two side stick on disks. they may not come off without damage to ukulele finish.

I am happy with the quality of sound in this pick up. My Yamaha classical guitar sounds full and balanced when the pick up is located about an inch in from the outer edge and in line with the low E string. The connection wire needs a firm attachment to the strap nut. I use the eye of a velcro wire wrap. It needs a strong double sided tape to hold it to the guitar or it's always falling off . Love the on board volume control.

This is a fine piezo pickup. It sticks on your acoustic instrument either with some blue sticky putty or more permanently with adhesive. I use it on my ukuleles and it works well.

I have a 50yr old Yamaha acoustic guitar. This pickup captures the sound of the guitar very well. Nice option for not cutting into the guitar for an on board pick up .

I first tried the pickup with the "clean" settings on my Marshall JCM-2000 401 DSL. I did not like it! It was muffled sounding. So I tried it later that day with my Spark Amp on the acoustic setting and it sounded great. The pickup revealed true tones - sounded just like my acoustic without the pickup but louder. Its fun to add some reverb and phase. When installing, you try it with the pickup in varying positions until it sounds best. You can see the sweet spot I found in the pics.

I, a 74 year old 'hippie', have been playing stringed instruments for nearly 60 years. I currently have multiple banjos (4, 5, 6 and 12 string), guitars (6 and 7 string Russian and 8 string parlor, acoustic bass and Flamenco), Resonator guitar, dulcimers (3, 4, 6 string), violins (electric and 'acoustic'), Venezuelan and Puerto RIcan cuatros, Columbian tiples, Weissenborn, etc. etc. - So what you may say. This: those with built-in pre-amp pickups - no problem. Those with 'tie-down' strings (classical setup) the KNA-NG1 which you attach under strings on saddle work excellently for true acoustic reproduction - same for the KNA-UK1 for ukuleles, etc. - However, sound hole pickups leave much to be desired usually - but this pickup, the KNA-AP2 (and quake hold museum putty) are exactly what is needed. I highly suggest spending the extra $10 for the one with volume control (KNA-AP2 vs KNA-AP1) - such a nuisance otherwise to have to keep reaching over to the amp. Regarding the putty - provided you do not leave it on the instrument for days at a time, and you 'twist' it off each time, it should last you about 3 lifetimes and leaves no stain or residue whatsoever. However, I would still test it first to insure the finish on your particular instrument is not the exception. The pickup is about as true to the sound of the instrument when amplified (provided you use an acoustic and not electric amp) as one could possible expect.When I play at 'gigs' I quickly and easily can transfer the pickup from one instrument to another without any problem whatsoever. Why not buy one for each instrument you may say? What for, they are so easily put in place (be sure and find the sweet spot for each instrument) and removed. Plus why have more than one since you shouldn't be leaving them on the instruments beyond performance time anyway.Bottom line: You can pay more (which I have for other 'stick-on' pickups, some with built-in microphones, etc.) and always reach for the KNA-AP2 rather than any of the others. 5 star product - definitely, and an honest price for the quality - try it, I am sure you will love it.Oh, do I sound eccentric what with all these instruments? At my age they are how I pamper myself and are both legal and moral.
