Well the Soprano version (Kala KA-S) turned up today nicely set up and well finished in matt this time. It was on a god deal discounted down to £52 online, so I took a chance re setup. I am use to adjusting and capable of guitar setup changes.
I was surprised how loud it was, I assume it also has Aquila nylon/gut strings ? (just found the Aquila label)
I did find finger picking quite hard with the tiny fret spacing.
One song I have been playing on the Tenor is 'Here Comes The Sun" that translates very nicely from Guitar to Uke with the little licks sounding great. Will see if I can upload a sample. I tend to strum over the sound hole and pick back nearer the bridge, I guess guitar habits dies hard. From what I have read everything on the Uke should take place further up nearer the neck/body join ?
Here is a pic of them both side by side. Two and counting. Ok I admit it I have also ordered a third the solid spruce top VTAB one pictured above. I can't believe I have been missing out on all the Ukulele fun and a bonus being a guitar player is some of the big hurdles of learning, have already been overcome many years ago.
