I had a chance to play the Ukulele Strumstick by McNally today. It is said to be a concert neck, but it seemed like a tenor size when I put it next to tenor and the fret bars seems to match up most of the way up and down the neck.
I know this will not be compared to a higher quality Uke, but what is the general consensus as to it's use for travel, fun, being a little different, etc. It is thin and comes with a sleek case.
I played it with Steel strings in a reentrant GCEA format. I asked about putting Nylon strings on it and they said it could be done, but I read a review that said the steel strings give it it's only good and resonant sound and that it would be relatively silent with Nylons. (I would put Fluros on as I don't like steel.) Has anyone used it this way and what is the general opinion of this as compared to a Flea, or other travel Ukes.
Remember that I am not looking to replace the main high quality Uke. This would be for fun, travel, and "what the heck is that factor"
Opinions please.
