Anyone use Mi-Si pickups on an ukulele?

Yup. Put them in a couple of ukes. Very light, no battery bag and they sound great. You've seen one of them at the NCAL at DaSilva's. Not plugged in though.

To install I drilled a hole each side of the saddle slot to run about 1/4" of the end past the saddle, ramped the transition and made sure the saddle and slot are dead flat.

They are my number 1 choice in a uke and are the preferred one by many builders.

I've installed dozens of them in ukes with no problem. I'm pretty surprized there are not knock off models on the market already. The capacitor charge is pretty cool. I use them with Fishman transducers rather than the Baggs, for no particular reason than that I have a long history with Fishman products and they work well for me. It makes the Mi-Si cost more though. Easy to install volume controls on the Mi-Si too. They will give you the simple directions, and the volume works great. Good luck!
