Keith has installed literally hundreds of pickups into acoustic guitars, violins, mandolins, archtop guitars, cellos, banjos, dobros, double basses, and even a saw, and will be able to advise you on the best solution to the problem of amplifying your instrument.
This will include not only the best pickup or transducer for the particular instrument, but advice on the equipment best suited to the amplification task, and any other electronic processing which may be beneficial. As well, your instrument may need either an internal or external preamp to best match its pickup to the amplifier. This is an area where musician meets sound engineer, and you will need the advice of someone with a thorough understanding of all that is involved.
