With the dollar approaching parity with the Euro, this is a great time to buy a uke from Europe if you are an American. Sometimes it has taken as much as $1.80 per Euro to convert and usually has been $1.30-1.50. At the moment it is $1.09 but has been as low as $1.05 very recently. Some analysts predict it will go as low as $.080 by September but I don't know that I'd bet on that.
At any rate it seems to me if you ever wanted a Bruko or a Risa, now is the best time to get one. I've already got a couple of Brukos, but I'm thinking about a Risa.
When the Euro is this weak, it's a bargain even when you factor in shipping, especially because you don't pay VAT in the US.
Any other European brands of interest. I'm not asking about UK here because the LLB Sterling is not as weak as the Euro.
