Sesame Street "Elmo" Soprano Ukulele. This was an impulse buy at a local shop yesterday, so the jury is still out on an overall rating, but I thought you all might like to see it. Here are some pics and thoughts!

Striking red body, neck, and headstock, with custom artwork! Non-compensated saddle, but expected at this price point.

The tuners aren't marked, but I'm guessing they're "Grovers" *snark*

Phenomenal joinery! Literally NO seam between the neck and body!

The action is just a smidge high, but I think I can work with it for now.

I really wanted to provide an audio sample, but I still haven't gotten it sounding the way I like. From 1st to 4th strings, it was tuned (out of the box) to: Gloom, Despair, Agony, and L-flat.


Okay...this was actually a birthday present for my 2-year-old daughter yesterday. Just trying to get her acclimated to Daddy getting his Opio Concert in a couple of weeks. She loves her new "guitar," though!
 
My first uke was a cousin to this one. It is the only uke of mine that goes on boat rides.
 
how cute...
