I took delivery of this uke last night. I'm extremely pleased. I think the Selmer body and 19" scale are a winning combination for me. I never did get very comfortable with the 20" baritone I had, despite it being an "oh, wow" instrument in all respects. The Selmer body shape is larger than most regular tenor bodies and a bit smaller than baritone. The 19" scale is just doable for me. I currently have it tuned Bb and love its voice.
As a reminder, this is a Selmer in shape only. Based on a prior experience with a more traditional, very popular Selmer from another builder that did not work for me, Beau braced this one differently. Whereas Selmer's usually have lattice bracing and a D-shaped or small oval sound hole, Beau used a larger oval sound hole and 5-fan bracing. It really, really works for me.
Anyone attending, Beau will have it on display.
Will do a full review post UGH's Hawaii Ukulele Festival.
Chapeau, Beau!
