Schaller Germnay S/P Oyster Piezo Acoustic Instrument/Guitar Pickup, Brass

Schaller Oyster S/P – balanced new sound in a modern design

The Schaller Oyster has been a classic contact pickup for decades. With its compact size and low weight, it can be easily mounted on guitar tops for spontaneous gigs or permanently installed in the body of acoustic instruments.
The new oyster has become a little bit slimmer and convinces thanks to the new piezo technology with an even more balanced sound. This makes it the perfect pickup system for guitars, basses, ukuleles, mandolins and other acoustic stringed instruments.

The Oyster is available in different cable lengths with a 6.35 mm (1/4″) jack socket or plug, as a single or double pickup, classic nickel-plated or in pure sound brass.
