ABOUT THE BIG ISLAND SPOT
The Big Island Spot is an internal single-head pickup for fan-braced ukuleles. It is designed with the player in mind who seeks a quicker and easier mount than K&K's Aloha Twin pickup system. The second photo shows an installation on a basic fan-braced instrument. For ukuleles with X bracing, K&K recommends the Aloha Twin, which is well suited for both bracing types. The Big Island Spot has a strong output signal even without a preamp.
Please keep in mind when playing without a preamp, the result depends somewhat on the quality and type of the amplification equipment.

I use the Susato Oriole Whistle head with PVC, bamboo, or carbon fiber whistle bodies that I make. The Susato head is precision made and helps my whistles to sound great.
When I first saw the goatskin, I wasn’t sure if it was what I was looking for but I tried it out, it’s pretty much perfect, I make traditional Yupik drums that come from southwest Alaska, in my language, the Yugtun, language we call out drums a cauyaq, and the drum head is traditionally a stomach membrane of a walrus or seal. As someone who lives in modern age, we have contemporary styles and goatskin is one of our contemporary style. For this application it works great.
I read about sistrums in a fantasy adventure book and had to have one! Lark listed one I could afford that combines old crafting techniques with bottle caps! The delivery was quick. I played around with it and was surprised at all the different chimes and riffs it could make. Right now it is displayed with my also-African-made soda can lion. I'm happy!
Nice sound
This was my first ever Hardanger, so I basically wanted a "Squier" version of a Hardanger: an entry level Hardanger to learn on that was new and solid but wouldn't break the bank. This has been pretty much perfect and just what I wanted.I love playing it.
