In practice, I have tried out the Artist Transducer on my Takamine EF341 guitar and on my Kala SMHS soprano ukulele, and the results were mixed. As Voltaire said, the better is the enemy of the good. At some point you will find a passable sound, and you should probably not spend much more time on this, as it will probably not get very much better. It is a good idea to try it in different location on the top to reduce feedback and to try to get the best sound. The sound is passable, but it does not really have the pass the full character of whatever you are plugging it into. The pickup itself is housed in a maple wood housing and through use of a lead differential weight, the piezo reacts through compression rather than just bending like all other Piezo pickups. A strip of gaffer’s tape might come in handy here. As the adhesive is re-usable, the pickup can be pulled off the top pretty easily, so it is a good idea to route the cable so that your guitar strap supports it so that the adhesive portion does not support the entire weight of the cord. There is a gooey adhesive on the puck, which allows you to stick it wherever you need to on the top of the instrument, and it can be easily removed and stuck on something else if you wish. When you take it out of the box, there is a small puck with an integrated cable that has a ¼-inch male connector on the end. The Dean Markley artist transducer acoustic pickup has to be the easiest pickups on the market to install. Markley started making these pickups in 1980, and they have been one of their more popular products. Surely you have heard of Dean Markley before, as this company has been selling strings since 1972, and in the years since they have branched out into picks, strings, cables, DI boxes, tuners, and pickups.
On easy way I have found to make this happen is the Dean Markley Artist Transducer acoustic pickup.
Many of the options on the market are expensive, and a lot of them require modifications to you axe that might not be easy to undo. It can be a daunting task to figure out how to modify your acoustic instrument (guitar, violin, etc.) so that you can plug it into an amp or the mixing board.
