Very nice. Is that a long neck or small body?
 
Very nice, I like it.
 
I like your choice of woods, I like the bridge, I like the design, in fact, I like everything about it! You do good work.

Wow very interesting. It looks great, I wonder how it sounds?
 
I just love how the Europeans challenge the shape of the ukulele. This one looks very old fashioned and yet modern. Very cool....The bridge seems to be set well back and I wonder how it sounds. A sound sample would be appreciated. Size of the pins seems a bit over sized to my eye proportionally, but maybe that is what is cool about this uke.
 
'I just love how the Europeans challenge the shape of the ukulele. This one looks very old fashioned and yet modern.' .........there's a simple reason for that!

The machete from Madeira, tuned DGBD, was transformed into the soprano uke, tuned GCEA after its arrival in Hawaii.

This instrument has the appearance of a machete, and since Gregor is calling this a uke, I reckon he must have tuned it accordingly.

Look at his website: there are some beautiful instruments ( with video/sound samples).

Hi!
Thank you for your nice comments!
@ Jim Hanks: The body is quite small. String length is 350 mm.

@ Nickie: I'll try to make video where I play this ukulele.

@ sequoia: I haven't found any smaller pins. And I wasn't up to turning them myself.

@ greenscoe: Yes, this instrument is tuned GCEA. (Thank you for visiting my website!)

Greetings, Gregor
 
Beautiful ukulele, lots of good taste! It is pleasure to watch your workshop, so clean and tidy (www).
Hope to see next instruments from you soon.
 
Dang, that is a good looking uke. Very nice and cool/sleek/different. Looks small and lightweight.
