Hi Dave
My tried and tested method is :
If you place small identical piezo pickups under drone and trompette
bridges, then take the hot output to each side of a 750k pot,the wiper will
output a balance of your choice. Take that to one terminal of a stereo jack
socket and take the lead from a piezo on the chanterelle bridge to the other
terminal. You then have the ability to use a mixer pan control to balance
your trompette/drone premix and the chanterelles signal just using a stereo
lead.

wheel. The two signals appear on two pins of a 3-pin XLR connector near
the pegbox (the third is of course the ground pin) and I have a custom
cable/adapter which brings the signals out on two 0.25" jack plugs. If
you're happy with running the unbalanced signals for that short
distance, and with needing a special adapter cable, it's a neat
solution. If you wanted to use more pickups, you could use an XLR
connector with more pins - Wikipedia claims 5-pin versions are in common
use.
