Frequently Asked Questions

The passive piezo system delivers a more natural, acoustic-like tone than many active pickups, but lacks the extra gain and shaping options.
NS Design generally designs their 5-string instruments with comfortable string spacing, but players with smaller hands may want to try it before purchasing to ensure a good fit.
A simple acoustic amplifier or a full-range PA system will work well, but an EQ pedal can help tailor the tone to your specific needs.
