This top performance, single-head piezo transducer was specially designed for instruments with low mechanical resonance like the Koto. These include instruments made of relatively thick material. It is considerably harder to induce vibration on these thicker materials compared to the thin top of a violin, for example. As the piezo crystals react to corpus vibrations, a low surface vibration results in a low signal and a strong vibration creates a strong signal. The Big Shot is a universal and powerful pickup for a wide variety of instruments. Its extra strong output signal makes it even more versatile. The frequency range is nearly linear with a slight peak in the upper midrange. This allows for great upfront sound transmission. The pickup head is attached with a special double-side adhesive film, which is UV resistant to ensure safe adhesion even after years of use. It is ultra-thin and enables the harmonic frequencies to completely pass through to the pickup disk.
