## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Adhesive....
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 May 2017*

The pickup itself is excellent, does the job, but the temporary adhesive is unreliable - the bug falls off, can be knocked off easily.  Have stopped using it and looking for alternatives.  Generally though, it's very good value for money and I do like being able to use it on a variety of instruments.- it's quick to change over.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Also don't like the attachment options
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 November 2016*

I found this pickup way too sensitive for my level of playing. It picks up every tiny knock or twang from my baritone ukulele and has a higher tendency to feedback. Also don't like the attachment options, some yellow sticky pads, which don't hold very well, or a permanent adhesive. Prefer the cheap Cherub clip on for sound and convenience.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good for acoustic instruments
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 August 2013*

A good little pickup that can be used on the outside of any acoustic instruments that resonate, i.e guitar ukulele etc. I use mine on my mandolin and it works very well. It is a quite microphone, so even with it turned up loud there is little fuzz, although you won't need it to loud as it has a high output level!The only slightly annoying thing about it, is that it used a pesky 2.5 mm jack instead of the usual 3.5mmm, which means if you don't use the supplied cable, you might have to get a convertor or two in order to use it with a standard 6.35mm jack cable.
