Oh, I am deeply interested in that too... I saw the websites of many makes, each of them with different ideas...
and about that, I'd like to get some ideas for my HG which is being built right now in Spain... The maker will install three independent pickups (chanters, bourdons and trumpet - that is why I won't have a mouche in the traditional position, but three bourdons on one side and the trumpet on the other), which will be connected to a canon plug, so that I can use a 3 channel XLR multi cable to connect the HG to an amp/mixer... This maker's idea is to only install the pickup system and the plug(s), so I would have to get myself a pre-amp / amp / mixer myself... What do you guys recommend for that? I do like Weichselbaumer's idea (even though he uses 4 channels (one for the sympathetic strings), and not 3), but I'd like some suggestions from Alden and others here who understand about this... Ideally, I would get myself one symple amp/mixer for my three channels that I could set up myself (much like the one you at Olympic build into your HGs, only in a separate box) and feed a singled mixed signal to the sound operator, instead of occupying three XLR slots on the mixer for my band (and taking precious space that could be used for more microphones for the rest of the musicians)... did I make myself clear? - I don't understand about amplification that much!
