Thanks for all the comments. I've played amplified instruments for years, but never had an active pick-up. Have to get a battery before I can see how it sounds amped. I had a stroke June 2 of last year, so it's almost a birthday present. I can't wrap my left hand around a guitar neck, so I got out my old Mahalo sop. a couple of months ago and found I could play most of the chords, but was really having trouble with the F chord. My bird finger would sometimes mute the third string. I found that a concert had just enough room to get by. Anyway, sorry to bend your ears so long, but it sure is fun to play all the chords on a great sounding and playing ukulele.
