Welcome to Pick-up the World
Love Your Sound!
Pick-up the World's pickups are made from one of the most accurate and linear transducing materials known to mankind. Each sensor is carefully crafted and optimized to reveal the truest voice of the instrument to which it is applied. Our products support virtually every musical instrument in the world and we specialize in custom and unusual designs.

This revolutionary new design combines three of our most popular pickup systems into one simple and intuitive system that offers tonal flexibility never before seen in acoustic guitar amplification.
The heart of the SSP system is a true stereo pre-amp that features two discrete, high headroom 18 volt pre-amps with independent volume controls. The pre-amp is small, lightweight and compact mounting just under the edge of an instrument's soundhole. The SSP features a special three position switch that selects between the various pickup combinations at the output jack. Read More...

Dave Stringer is at the forefront of the new Kirtan movement. Kirtan (from the Sanskrit word meaning "to sing") is a folk form that arose from the devotional Bhakti Yoga movementof 15th century India. The primary musical feature of Kirtan is the use of call and response.
Dave's sound marries the transcendent mysticism of traditional Indian instruments with the exuberant, groove-oriented sounds of American gospel and progressive Jazz. His work translates the ancient traditions of Kirtan and Yoga into an inspiring and thoroughly modern participatory theater, open to a multiplicity of interpretations and accessible to all. Dave Stringer has been profiled in magazines such as Time and Billboard, has collaborated on recordings with the likes of Vas, Rasa, Donna De Lory, Krishna Das and Jai Uttal and his voice can be heard on the soundtracks of Matrix and the video game Myst.
