I recently ordered a Farallon with sound port. If I can afford to add the MiSi pick up, should I? Any downside to acoustic function or longevity?
Glad to hear it, Kissing. Any additional maintenance other than charging the Misi?
It depends. If you play ukulele as a job there is a different answer. You need to look at how you do your job of playing and the cost benefits.
If you are getting the instrument to take out on hikes and adventures in the wild, electronics will get in the way of the fun.
If you are an enthusiastic amateur ukulele player, a pick-up will expand the possibilities to explore with your ukulele. If you do not already have an amp, you can look up some low cost battery powered models like the Marrshall Micro Amp. Its not the worlds best amp, but its enough to start to explore amplification. Or you can buy something like a headphone amp like the Vox AmpPlug and use your headphones to explore some amplification. Once you start to amplify and apply some controlled distortion, you get a whole new world to explore.
In the event that you go beserk with amplification enthusiasm, you can work up to more expensive amps and pedals.

I also consider buying blackbird tenor and i wonder if the hollow neck is strong enough to hold a string tension? Is this ukulele scratch resistant/its east to break?
Structurally, hollowing out a tube can make it stronger. There have been no reports of blackbird necks (ukes, not avians) snapping.
coo and what about scratches on the body/fingerboard surface.
I wish to get the answer from sbdy who use the uke for a while.
