Two piezo plates are stuck to the top side of the bridge by means of two metal pegs. (Alternatively, the piezo elements can be glued on.)

Preamp: optional; several models (single/dual channnel) available

Encased inside an aluminium height adjuster wheel of the bridge, which are very easy to install of you already have adjusters with the same thread in your bridge. The sound can be adjusted by turning the wheel some degrees.

Fishman offers a small microphone from Crown as a supplement to or budled with the BP100. It is attached to the bridge and has a short gooseneck. Both signals can be mixed with a Fishman Blender dual channel preamp.

    I used to play the BP100 for many years, but from today’s point of view, it sounded rather bad. Too many finger noise. But I occassionally tried the Full Circle, which seems to be a quite good pickup.
