ABSTRACT:
A transducer for use with a musical instrument to transmit vibrations from the instrument to an amplifier has a weight, at least one sensor connected to the weight, an insulating layer covering the weight and the sensor, a substrate layer covering the insulating layer, an attachment device for mounting the transducer to the musical instrument and a cable mounted to the bas for connecting the transducer to an amplifier. One conductor of the cable is mounted to the weight and a ground shield of the cable is connected to the substrate. The transducer translates surface vibrations of the instrument into electrical signals that can then be amplified or recorded. The transducer has superior tonal qualities.
