Abstract: The pick-up head (1) with an acousto-electrical transducer (4) for converting sound vibrations to electrical signals, comprises as characterizing features a sound influencing bell (2) arranged around a slender peg (3) bonded directly to the transducer (4), and the sound influencing bell (2) delimits a listening area on a body surface and influences to a predetermined degree and in a predetermined manner, by means of internal reflection and/or absorption, the direct sound picked up by the slender center peg (3). The bell (2) is acoustically decoupled from the center peg (3).
