Try it with a high impedance preamp and it should be fine. I’d say c.1980s but I have an even earlier one which sounds OK. Piezo technology hasn’t changed that much in the last 110 years!
They were quite expensive in their day but not so popular nowadays but, as with certain other things, they will eventually come back into fashion.
Thanks, Ray(T)!
I didn't understand either.

Treat as any other piezo transducer. These tend to work best into a very high impedance input. Encountered one of that model paired with a Baggs preamp and it sounded about how you'd expect.

Thanks for the replies. I won't need any further information about the pickup.
