K & K Big Shot Pickup

K & K Aloha Twin Pickup
The Aloha Twin is an internal double-sensor pickup specially designed for the Ukulele. All Fluke and Flea Ukes can be ordered with a pickup option and they will be installed permanently at the the time of assembly.

If you want to install one yourself, it can be installed two ways:

1.  With the supplied double-sided adhesive tape in front of the bridge plate (or bridge, if no bridge plate is present) on the inside sound board.
   
2. With superglue on a flat bridge plate (or directly under the bridge, if no bridge plate is present).

Tape installation on the bridge plate (as opposed to in front of the bridge plate) is very quiet so we do not recommend it.

Both installation methods are about equally loud but the superglue mount has the most balanced tone with superb feedback rejection.

Check if you can reach your fingers into the sound hole all the way to the bridge plate. We only recommend the superglue installation if you can reach the installation spots fairly easily. If you have any doubts, please use the tape installation in front of the bridge plate/bridge.

Either way, this pickup system has a strong output signal and works nicely even without a preamp.
Please keep in mind when playing without a preamp, the result depends somewhat on the quality and type of the amplification equipment. For more tone control, the external K&K Pure Preamp would be a great choice with its clean musical EQ and small size.
