Abstract: A pick-up system for placing in connection with the bridge of a stringed instrument consisting of individual, cylindrically designed microphone units, that are inserted in bored tight-fitting holes in the bridge close to the individual strings, such that the microphones are rotatably frictionally fixed therein. The acoustic axes of the microphones are transversely oriented, whereby for individual adjustment it is possible by turning the microphones in the tight-fitting holes to adjust the angle between the individual axes and the respective directions to the strings.
