I am investigating under saddle pickups as I've been asked to fix a couple of instruments which don't amplify well. I suspect the UST as they look a bit battered. They're not equipped with high end electronics so I don't want to spend a great deal. Besides, my payment is usually a bottle of wine rather than parts and labour. I'm trying to find something that's relatively inexpensive but does an adequate job. This item looks promising (remove the space after https)

My question has 2 parts:
1. Does anybody have experience with this type of pickup? If so, do you recommend them?
2. The red piezo rod is too long for the ukulele's saddle slot. Will it still work OK if you cut off the last 15mm or so?
All feedback appreciated. TIA
