Actually, Bob Lundberg installed the pickup for Tom Bergen some years
after I had Bob install a Fishman classical guitar transducer on my
lute. We spent quite a bit of time and effort locating the pickup for
an optimal result, and he made a customized endpin that hid a miniplug
jack. It all worked like a charm.

Subject: [LUTE] Re: pickup or mic inside lute
If you can figure out how to get in touch with Tom Bergen in Seattle
(last I heard...), he had a great sounding Lundberg 11 course French
baroque instrument with an internal pickup mounted near or under the
bridge. He had a miniplug built into the strap button that he connected
to a wireless transmitter that he concealed under his coat (Pigtail?).
Worked great. He played it at LSA one year and it was good enough to
fool some well-known professionals. IIRC, it wasn't an add-on to an
existing instrument; he had Lundberg build it specifically to
accommodate the pickup, and I think it took at least a couple of tries
to get it right. I don't recall any details, but I'm sure Tom could
tell you if you can get ahold of him.
I also have a Schertler (which I confess that I haven't actually used
much). One thing I discovered is that it is quite sensitive to exactly
where you stick it on the top. If you are getting a poor sound, try
moving it around. For the instrument I tried it with, just above the
base side of the bridge seemed to be the best spot, but YMMV.

I have a separate Schertler stick-on mic that I can use on all
lutes/guitars I play. I can plug it into an amp I bring myself, or
alternatively have a preamp (also Schertler) to give the PA-man a
Direct Out while I'm still in control of my own EQ. The preamp also
has
a mute button, comes in handy when not playing or when tuning.
A normal mic sounds better, but this works and had no feed back
issues.
A mic inside an instrument (I have a classical guitar with a
build-in
condenser mic) sounds rather boomy and can have feed-back issues.

I'm thinking of having my archlute repaired which will entail

sounding pickup or mic inside the lute that is no hassle use. I
need
something that can be plugged into a wireless transmitter. The
wireless
system I have is a high end Sennheiser (ew 100 G2 ) that uses a
condenser mic. I don't understand this stuff very well. I don't
know if
a pickup can look the same as a condenser mic to the
transmitter.
The ew-100 G2 manual says.
