My ukulele adiction is getting serious! I would like to upgrade to an archtop soprano. I cannot afford a DeAngelico or Jazz Box. Do I have any other more affordable options?
I'm not sure where you can find a cheaper soprano, but Eastman makes a concert for around $1000.

You could take the jump and build one... out of say a 2X4?
Like this little beauty in the luthers lounge. http://forum.ukuleleunderground.com/showthread.php?114726-2x4-challenge&p=1802709#post1802709
Sounds great as well. It ramps up my UAS, MUS or outright LUST for an arch top soprano that's for sure.
I hope he doesn't mind me sharing his wonderful video.
I know you said that the D'Angelico is out of your price range... But It is a soprano scale, and it really is the bee's knees.
Are there any US dealers? Online or brick & morter? Maybe I should just start saving up for one!
