Hi Diane,
I play in a ukulele orchestra of 14 instruments and as a builder of a couple of baritone ukuleles, I thought I'd reply to your subject.
I usually use an under saddle electric pick up for ukuleles. These cost about £17 or (I guess) about $30. They work really well with nylon soprano/concert strings and also work well with wound tenor/baritone strings.
I you want to use an electric guitar type pick up, don't forget that a baritone ukulele is usually tuned D G B E. This is the same as the top 4 strings on a guitar, so you could use guitar strings and a guitar type pick up.
You might be interested in our ukulele orchestra website. Not quite the ukulele orchestra of great britain (we played with them last year) but interesting non the less.

Here's another question then: are baritone uke strings plain end, ball end or loop end?

My son and I just finished a couple of Tenor Ukes, we did find that the standard nylon strings were not so good. I needed new strings as we broke one and went to the local acoustic shop. They had tenor uke strings in stock and I thougth they were expensive at around $9.00 a set. When I got home, i realized that they were Nylgut strings. They really do have a better sound. Teddy can add more to the dicussion. This is the only Uke he has been playing now..
