Recommendations for Moderately Priced Uke Pickup?

[gmel555]

Any recommendations for a moderately priced uke pickup? I'm thinking about a K&K Big Island Spot, or Aloha Twin (I'd use an external preamp with it). Comments/thoughts welcome. Thanks.

I've installed these JJB twin head piezo's in 2 mandolins, 1 violin, 3 violas, 1 mandola, a resonator mandolin and a banjolin (as well as several larger instruments) all with great results. If I had a 'uke I would install one in it as well.

Thanks. Good possibility. I also just noted K&K also offers a twin headed piezo's model(Twin Aloha). I've seen some good comments about JJB for steel Guitars as well.

I have 7 ukes all with the MISI pick ups.
Excellent sound replication!
NO batteries!
Plug in for one minute, play for 10 hours.
YMMV

I went with the K&K Aloha Twin uke pickup in a Kala baritone. I had no complaints. Worked very well.

I used it with the LR Baggs Gigpro preamp.

I have had good results with the JJB in both Ukuleles and in Mandolins. Performs as well as the K&K and costs less to boot.

A lot of people do say that abou JJB VS K&K.

Thanks for the recommendations. I've now got several options to take a closer at.
