Hello UU!

I was in Hawaii on vacation last week and was so lucky to have been able to pick up my brand new Moore Bettah Ukulele while I was over there.

I've owned a Moore Bettah Ukulele for several years now and it's been my primary player for the whole duration I've had it. I've had several students purchase new Moore Bettah ukes and simply *rave* about the sound and that his ukes just keep getting better. When I had the chance for Chuck to build me another one, I jumped at it and I have to say it's exceeded my high expectations. This is simply the nicest ukulele I've had the fortune to play and I'm in totally shock and awe that I got to take her home with me! Being able to pick it up at Chuck's was easily the highlight of my trip.

Here is a video!

It's beautiful!!! Chuck's instruments are just stunningly beautiful. I saw your video on YouTube with the spinner dolphins in the background. What an awesome experience all around.
 
Congratulations! I fully agree: A great uke for a great player.
 
Wonderful Uke ... the sound is just fabulous. Congrats.
 
Congratulations! I saw your video on Facebook. It's always a huge treat and a great pleasure to hear a great player playing such a beautiful instrument.
 
Another great inlay MBU and in very skilled hands, for sure. Continue making beautiful music with that!
 
Yep, great artwork again Chuck and wonderful playing as usual. I really like hte armrest he's added to his instruments. He was hesitant, well a little more than that, when I asked to have one on mine a couple of years ago. One lucky instrument to have such a player as you.

Is Chuck. still using Oasis strings with a Fremont low G?
 
Aloha Matt,
Wow it is amazing, im so jealous and drooling, sounds so sweet your playing :)... congratulations

yes Pat..Chuck back to Oasis and Fremont Soloist...me too...haha
 
By the way to those of you who don't know Matt he's one of the finest ukulele instructors in the country and a great guy to boot, if you ever get the chance to take lessons with him you'll count yourself as lucky. I know I do.
 
Yep Matt is one of the best and lives in Washington to boot.

The Oasis he's using, are they the Warms or Brights? I have both sets so will need to order a couple of Fremonts. Looks like Elderly has them. Fremont Soloist wound G?

I don't know if Chuck put them on Matt's uke, but he used the Oasis Warm with Fremont Soloist low g on my uke. It is a great combination on that instrument. I always change strings and have never even been tempted to do so with that setup.
