Summary:A magnetoelectric pickup device for use with a stringed musical instrument combines magnetostriction and the piezoelectric effect to detect a combination of magnetic field oscillations produced by a vibrating ferromagnetic string and acoustic vibrations from the body of the instrument itself. The result is a sound reproduction that preserves the natural acoustic timbre of the instrument.
