UPDATE: NUD - A visit to see Mim! Mango Pono
Update to this in post 14 below: I went to see Mim today!! She is only 1 and a half hours away (IF I don't miss my turn
)!
Mim. What can I say? She's sweet and lovely and fun and energetic and gentle and generous and so much more rolled into one! She was very patient with my decision making and kept telling me to take my time. She helped me by listening to what I wanted.
She set up the ukulele while I waited. I will definitely get my next ukulele from her!
Oh, yeah! The ukulele! I got a soprano Ohana solid spruce top with willow laminate back and sides. Almost got a solid mahogany but this one just sounded right to me. It has a nice, robust sound but also sounds full and has a warmth to it. I think the sound makes it versatile - good for strumming, finger picking, blues . . .
It's a real beauty, too! Certain ways you look at the grain on the back, it looks like the wood is actually curvy and not flat. I keep expecting it to feel ripply, but it doesn't. The finish is so smooth it looks like the ukulele is covered in glass!
Also got a good case for it!
I highly recommend getting a ukulele from Mim!
