Abstract
A transducer or pickup system amplifying musical instruments (such as, e.g., an acoustic guitar), including at least one magnet, at least one inductance coil coupled to the magnet(s), and an arc shaped housing enclosing magnet(s) and inductance coil(s). Some embodiments of the invention may provide unique sound characteristics due to comb filtering effects associated with an arc shape arrangement of magnets and/or coils in the pickup. In some embodiments the arc shaped pickup and/or housing may be placed within 7.0-7.5 inches of an edge of a guitar's bridge, and/or may be clamped to the edge of a guitar's sound hole, and/or may be aligned with a circumference of the sound hole. Different configurations are described with regard to nonlimiting embodiments.
