Patent ID: 6846981

Claim:
An electromagnetic pick-up for stringed musical instruments comprising a first permanent magnet means on top of a second permanent magnet means, a first wire coil means around the first permanent magnet means, a second wire coil means around the second permanent magnet means, wherein the magnetic polarization of the first permanent magnet means opposes the magnetic polarization of the second permanent magnet means, wherein the first permanent magnet means generates a first magnetic field and the second permanent magnet means generates a second magnetic field, wherein the first wire coil means and the second wire coil means have a common axis perpendicular to a set of ferrous strings, wherein both permanent magnet means is situated in a way that only the magnetic flux at the top of the first permanent magnet means reaches out to a set of ferrous strings, wherein vibrating ferrous metal strings cause a fluctuation in the first magnetic field that is relayed through to the second magnetic field and thus producing an alternating electric current in both wire coil means, including a means of a former elongated in shape, having at least one hole in the top extending through to the bottom whereinto the said first permanent magnet means and the said second permanent magnet means are situated, the former having a upper cavity extending in a full circle around the sides of the upper half, whereinto the said first wire coil means is disposed, the former having a lower cavity extending in a full circle around the sides of the lower half, whereinto the said second wire coil means is disposed.
