Te Kavanjo® Banjo Pickup System is a magnetic humbucking pickup and jack suspended from a customized mylar head. Tis is the newest and we believe the most effective way to amplify ANY banjo, while maintaining the instruments authentic characteristics.
Use your own banjo! Requires no pre-amp! Made in the USA! Everything is in the head so just change the head and you have a pickup installed!
“Te banjo is a fairly loud instrument acoustically but very difficult to amplify. Trough a mic the banjo oſten sounds harsh and thin. Most banjo pickups over emphasize the treble tone of the instrument and miss the tonal depth. Te Kavanjo® pickup gets it just right....your banjo only louder! When I am playing a concert with Doc Watson we oſten play for 2000 people, sometimes and many as 250,000. A mic just won’t deliver the full tonal range of the banjo when it is cranked for giant audiences. Even in these extreme situations the Kavanjo® performs perfectly. It allows me to keep the banjo in the mix even when Doc is plugged in and at high volume. Tank goodness there is finally a great pickup that amplifies the tonal warmth and power of the banjo!” - David Holt

A. B.
Clear - The clear head has a sweet tone with clear distinction and long sustain. It has a bit less bass response than the bottom frosted head. Some say it is brighter. High - #H-H3 or Medium - #H-M3 $31.00
Bottom Frosted - This head is very popular with tenor and plectrum banjoists because the smooth outer surface is quieter when strumming. The head has good bass response. High #H-H2 or Medium #H-M2 $30.00
C.
Prism - Showy appearance and a bit like the black head in tone but brighter. A popular head for tenor, plectrum, and Crossfire electric banjos both for tone and appearance. High-#H-H8 or Medium #H-M8
$33.00 D.
Kevlar - On a four or five string banjo, the Kevlar tends to have a brilliance and emphasizes the high frequencies like you would hear in an archtop banjo. The head is stiffer and the texture of the head is like an orange peel. This head sustains well and is crisp. It is sweet and strong on the six and twelve string banjos.
High #H-HK or Medium #H-MK $35.00 H. E.
Black - Strikingly different, this head is somewhat mellow in tone with long sustain, lots of low frequency response (bass) and not as crisp as a clear or bottom frosted head. More sustain than the fiberskyn and not plunky at all. High #H-HE or Medium #H-ME $30.00
F. G.
Fiberskyn - A favorite with old time, clawhammer, and frailing players. It is preferred for its warm, round character. It tends to have a more plunky sound. High #H-H5 or Medium #H-M5 $33.75
Renaissance - Another favorite of the old time and clawhammer/frailing styles. With a smooth top and opaque honey color, this head has a bit more brightness than found in the fiberskyn head. High - #H-H6 or Medium #H-M6 $31.00
Top Frosted - The most popular head made for a 5-string banjo. It is crisp, bright with good snap, not too much sustain, good clarity and note distinction. GOODTIME- High #H-H1 $30.00 DEERING/VEGA Medium #H-M1 $30.00
