I've tried several contact style pickups before, but I've found that a condensor mike works best with a banjo. Other banjo players that I've talked to prefer to play into a mike, as well. Keep in mind that most condensor mikes require "phantom power," which is an electrical circuit that is built into most mixing boards, but probably not built into a guitar amp. In that case, a regular dynamic microphone will work. If you'd prefer to use an instrument pickup, try the K&K Banjo Twin model: http://www.kksound.com/banjotwin.html

i have to link this board. I was on the Avett Brothers discussion board and they also were talking about banjo pickups. the majority were in favor of a lapel mic that can be purchased at radio shack and then a 1/4 inch plug is soldiered. for what its worth, follow the link and chk out the board. they have pics posted. thanks for all the help so far. I plan to buy a pickup next week. still cant decide on which one yet. william http://www.theavettbrothers.com/forums/banjo-pick
