Has anybody checked out the new SMD uke kits? Much different than what they used to offer. SMD used to offer a pretty sophisticated kit that made a very nice sounding mid-level quality ukulele. However, it was a bit challenging to the novice woodworker. Now they have simplified the concept and cut the price in half. From what I can see, it is a big step down from what they used to offer.
I know I gave Pete guff recently about specifically naming vendors in a critical email, but I think SMD doesn't apply nor does LMI when they get it wrong. This was obviously a dumbing down financial decision if you ask me. Too bad. They had a really superior kit and now they go for the low end toy. Way to go SMD! Don't be afraid of bottom feeding.
