Hi, am looking for a stick on or suction cup transducer (anything external) for my Kala KA-T with low g and have no more than £40 ($50/€45) to spend.
Anyone got recommendations or ones to avoid?
Just after a decent sound for acoustic performances, no recording intended :)
 
You would do well to click on the link in my signature below and read the thread about mics, recording, pickups and how to make your pickup sound better.

$50 does not get you much of a decent pickup, preamp, or DI box and you may need to adjust your expectations for what is possible with so low a budget.

An external transducer for something like the K&K is fine but without a preamp it is going to sound bad and drive the audience away.

I have that same uke, and have installed a Mi-Si in it myself. The Mi-Si is undersaddle, and is ~$120 most places, and a favorite of many folks here on UU, and the Mi-Si comes with it's own preamp.

I have no affiliation with this vendor, but these links give you an example:

Here is also a WHOLE bunch of different types of both active and passive ukulele pickups:
