          I hate to be general, but a couple of years ago I did the sound for 
an auditorium in San Diego.  A Choir with instruments was commonly 
performing.  Having succeeded in illing the walls and sealing with coatings, 
various instruments needed amping.  Ifound some good "contact" miks which 
were mounted to the back or bottom of the various accoustic instruments such 
as piano, stand-up bass, a dreadnaught accoustic, etc.  The fool things would 
actually work even if they were adhesively stuck to brass.
        There is a good assortment, but I would suggest an adventure in a 
serious sound shop, theater, that sort of thing.  Uhhhh.  It is almost like a 
Disneyland for a sound minded person, so better leave your check book at home 
and take only cash you want to part with.
Peace
