Looks and sounds good.
I had a couple of these fitted to two ukuleles by a local luthier. He had to widen the slot in the saddle of one of them, and made a new bridge to fit, but even so the cost was only for one hour of his labour for each and £5 for the bridge. Fitted, they look very professional. The end pin/socket looks well-proportioned for the soprano ukulele body, and feels solid when plugging in etc,.
I've only tried each through an amp briefly, and have no problem with the sound. Obviously being a piezo under-saddle pickup it's never going to sound as good as a good microphone. I use mine with the instrument input of a Fender Passport Mini PA, which has various amp model profiles to choose from and adjustable tone, so it's easy enough to tame the inevitable "quack" sound from the piezo; otherwise a suitable pre-amp would probably be recommended between this pickup and the amplifier.

The sound is OK.
There is no brand on the pickup itself, so it is undistinguishable from any cheap no brand pickup.
A bit disappointing if you happen to sell the ukulele and need to demonstrate the value of your upgrades.

Sadly broken
We took this tool to master craftsman to be placed in my ukulele where they told me that it doesn't work. The technology was not responding and the size did not fit. I was really upset because all the products I have bought in Thoman never ever had let me down.
In the end the master put his own pickups for 15 euros.
