The banjolele is an instrument that appears simple. However, the banjolele can be difficult to amplify, due to the way it is built. Besides the size, it looks similar to a guitar. The real difference can be found at the pot of the instrument where some banjoleles have an open back, metal brackets around the rim and a head that helps to produce and project sound, similar to a resonator guitar. Banjoleles typically involve a fast picking style and banjolele pickups have trouble achieving the authentic pluck sounds and highs of the instrument. Standing in front of a banjolele microphone may get you the most authentic sound but because the sound of the banjolele projects outward, the banjolele microphone will only catch a portion of the music. We heard of the hardships involved with using banjolele pickups and banjolele microphones during live performances, which is why we worked to develop our banjolele pickups to allow you to capture the sound right at the source, while not interfering with the authentic banjolele sound. Although many of our pickups will work on your instrument, we will highlight the top two banjolele pickups that work best for you and your banjolele. Get the ease of the banjolele pickup and the quality of the banjolele microphone.

The Feather banjolele Pickup

This model is by far the most versatile banjolele pickup we sell, and makes for the perfect banjolele pickup because it attaches with the banjolele design in mind. This banjolele pickup has a battery powered preamp that can either attach to your belt or to your banjolele strap. A long, flexible banjolele microphone extends from this preamp box and uses any one of our multiple clips to attach securely to the bracket of your banjolele. Clipping the banjolele microphone to the bracket allows the banjolele microphone to sit right above the head of the banjolele or in one of the open holes along the rim. With this banjolele microphone not resting on the head of your banjolele, you can rest assured that the natural sound of your banjolele will remain a constant. The last 6 inches of the banjolele microphone has a flexible wire that will hold the banjolele microphone in the exact spot you would like it. Easily remove the banjolele microphone and clip it back on whenever is needed. Simplicity at its finest!

The Feather-2 banjolele Pickup

This banjolele pickup is almost identical to the Feather banjolele pickup. However, instead of having a single banjolele microphone extending from the preamp box, you have two. Place each banjolele microphone around the brackets of your banjo and feel confident in catching every note plucked. Because banjoleles resonate their sound, some musicians feel more confident having their banjolele pot surround by more than one banjolele microphone. This banjolele pickup allows you to do this with ease and, because of the design, you do not have the preamp box anywhere that is easily visible. With the preamp not mounted to your banjolele you have the freedom of space to pluck away without knocking or hitting the banjolele microphone or banjolele pickup. Reach down and control the volume with the external volume knob and you are in complete control over the sound of your banjolele.

Either one of these banjolele pickups will work perfectly for you and your banjolele, and both come with the same high quality banjolele microphone that will leave you wanting to play more and more. Experience the same raw and authentic sound of your banjolele at a greater volume through an amp or a speaker. Our banjolele pickups will allow you to direct the flexible banjolele microphone directly to your banjolele so, whether you're playing a small gig or with a full band, your banjolele sound will be coming through full force. As always, we have a 100% satisfaction guarantee so you can get your hands on a Myers banjolele pickup, risk free. Please contact us if you have any further questions.
