Hi everyone. I get a very loud buzzing when I plug my Caramel Baritone ukulele in to any amp. Can anyone suggest a fix please?

It is an electronic buzz, or fret buzz?
To check for fret buzz, play every note on every string, one string at a time. Listen for an "odd" sounding note at certain fret positions for each string.
The nature of pickups, especially piezo, is that they will amplify the bad with the good. Fret buzz makes a very annoying sound when amplified.
I mostly use the pickups for the convenience of an on-board tuner.

I'm sure there are technical solutions to the problem, but at home I find the easy solution is to use a battery powered amplifier *and* not to be near any live phone chargers, transformers, power supplies, fluorescent lights etc.
