Mainland, Bushman, Ohana, Stagg - does anyone know if these ukes are all made by the same Chinese manufacturer?
I know there are differences in quality control, set-up and apparently in the specs, but the basic instrument profiles look so remarkably similar that I wondered if the original source was the same?
Not so long ago, many people would have turned up their noses at the prospect of any Chinese string instrument, but China is really turning out some very nice stuff these days - ukes, mandos, fiddles... All hugely improved in the last couple of years. :music:
