Does anyone make a sound hole pickup for a ukulele let's say similar to the Dean Markley Woody?

I haven't heard of anyone making one. I think there some hurdles and one may be the shapes and diameters of soundholes. IMHO . . .

A larger hurdle would be the fact that soundhole pickups are magnetic pickups, which would only work with steel strings...

Didn't think of that. Good point.
