I don't own one sadly but I love the sound of his instruments... you've probably already seen it, but if not check out the concert with Zanuck Lindsey, Kimo Hussey and Jay Lichty (I think it is on youtube). They demo the kiku and other instruments by Lichty. Makes me yearn for one! Too pricey for me right now, but I wish you luck in your quest! My top three dream ukes to own would be an LFDM, a Lichty and a Beau Hannam... Maybe one day.
