Kavanjo Pickup is a Great Option
Fantastic option for amplifying my Eagle II open back 5-string. Very loud and still natural. And stable like no other pickup I’ve used. It has made my banjo the most stage-worthy 5-string I’ve ever owned.

Kavanjo Pickup on Golden Era
Sounds good but more feedback than I would like so can’t crank the amp too much. No volume control knob so had to use a volume pedal. Easy to install if you know how to change a banjo head
