The long-promised Ukulele Pickup Tutorial

As you know, I advocate for the teacher to have their ukulele amplified, if possible.  Of course, buying an electric ukulele is not always your best option - you'll pay a premium for that added pickup, and you really want it to sound best acoustic.  

Never fear, though...run to your local dollar store and buy that door alarm for a dollar, and you're on your way to making your own pickup!  The first video below is a quick demonstration & "summary" video with lots of sped-up video so you get the general idea.  A more complete tutorial is below that if you want to sit through that whole thing!
