Abstract
A sound pickup for a stringed instrument, the sound pickup including a housing arranged at a body of the stringed instrument below strings, wherein the housing includes at least one magnet enveloped by a coil so that a magnetic field is generatable by the at least one magnet, wherein the coil is electrically connected with at least one amplifier and with at least one speaker so that a movement of the strings in the magnetic field generates an electrical current in the coil, wherein the sound pickup includes an arrangement configured to adjust the magnetic field of the magnet which causes an adjustment of sound characteristics of the instrument.

A sound pickup for a stringed instrument, the sound pickup comprising:
- a housing arranged at a body of the stringed instrument below strings,
- wherein the housing includes at least one magnet enveloped by a coil so that a magnetic field is generatable by the at least one magnet,
- wherein the coil is electrically connected with at least one amplifier and with at least one speaker so that a movement of the strings in the magnetic field generates an electrical current in the coil,
- wherein the sound pickup includes an arrangement configured to adjust the magnetic field of the magnet which causes an adjustment of sound characteristics of the stringed musical instrument, and
- wherein a cover of the housing that is oriented towards the strings of the stringed musical instrument is made from electrically conductive material and includes an arrangement configured to continuously variably adjust a size of an opening of the cover which causes a continuously variable control of an attenuation of the sound pickup.
