Works as it should. Great value
The media could not be loaded. The pickup arrived very quickly in perfect condition. I tested prior to fitting by simply holding each pickup against the top of the ukulele. I didn't find much difference in tone but volume was best close to the bridge. Fitting was a bit fiddly due to the small sound hole in a concert ukulele but I managed stick all 3 pickups where I wanted them. One centred under the bridge and two side by side directly in front of the bridge. Next I shortened the cable to the socket as I didn't want excess cable rattling around making unwanted noise. I tested into the amp again and then installed the socket. This required a 12mm hole. I started at 3mm drilling where the screw went for the original button and then worked up in 3mm increments to prevent splintering around the hole. I threaded a patch lead thought the hole, plugged it into the socket and pulled it back through the hole to get it in position. You have to adjust the inner nut to suit the thickness of the body ensuring the right amount of thread is protruding to accept the outer washer, nut and strap button. The whole job took around an hour in total. The sound is very good especially considering the price and there is no need for a preamp. No need for batteries and hasn't changed the acoustics of the instrument. Very happy with the result and highly recommend it.

Decent Pickup. Great value.
Quite a good pickup for the money, good sound, the three transducers give a balanced sound.I would recommend using some double sided tape or blu tac initially to stick the transducers, to enable moving them around to get the desired sound (more bass or treble/mid, etc.), before sticking them with the adhesive pads that are attached.Once they are stuck down with the built in adhesive pads they are very difficult to remove without damaging them.

Works well once installed - see more for details
The media could not be loaded. Not the easiest to install but that's more down to the fact you have to get giant hand inside a small ukulele hole!Process is easy, mask up area, make pencil mark, pilot a small hole and increase to 10mm in steps. Be very careful. When drilled, you unscrew the strap button end and you will see two nuts and two washers. You will simply set the first nut and washer back deep enough that the jack fits through body, then you can pass the jack through sound hole to slot. I found it easiest to do this with a bendy bit of wire (pipe cleaner, old cost hanger etc) so I could place the jack on the end and guide it to the hole. When it pokes through to the outside, there is a small hook hole you can use tweezers to pull from whilst you add the other washer and nut outside. Tighten, then re-screw on the strap button.I hope the above saves some people time. Note I didn't stick anything in place eg the transducers until it was fixed ... That way if you need to remove it to adjust that inner nut to get more depth it won't be such a pain (ask me how I know!).As for the product, you stick it in, make sure the 3 transducers are located on the underside of the ukulele top, ideally on or very near the bridge, and using the finest of touches cable tie those wires to the supplied sticky backed tie off and test. Like me, you may get some feedback or 'buzzing' due to wires vibrating. Tighten the ties up or use a small strip of duct tape to pin the wires to the sides avoiding any on the top to ensure no vibrations.When installed, works great, volume is good and compared to my other pre-installed pickups I'd say it's about right. This was fitted to my travel ukulele (Flight long neck TUSL) so it's a decent upgrade to something I didn't mind drilling. Just keep that in mind before you drill a £2,500 Kamaka to install a £8 pickup 🤣👍

Great, brought for rocksmith
I bought this so that I could use my acoustic on rocksmith, and it is great for this.It's a bit fiddly to fit, this is no issue with the product but rather with the inside of my guitar.I will warn that the sticky pads are very sticky and grip the first thing they come into contact with so do a practice fit with bluetack and the pads still covered

not transducer
These are NOT transducer pickups... merely ordinary Peizo pickups in a plastic shell to make it look like they are. The actual product deserves a 5-star rating for value alone, if they had been listed without the plastic fascia to mislead people into believing they are in fact transducers, but for the deception, I give them a 1 star rating.

Good for wacky field recording!
Great product at good price. Would have preferred a 3.5mm connector. But no one makes them at this price!

pickup
not bad but i was disappointed with the sound

Lots of feedback at relatively low volume
Tried this as it was so inexpensive but not really suitable for any instrument. Tried it on banjo first then guitar but sound quality so poor. Useful for a test but not for sound reproduction. Cheap and you get what you pay for.
