Not that I've ever ridded myself of UAS, as a matter fact, I embrace it. For the last couple of years I've been playing bass uke with The CC Strummers, and have not hesitated to accumulate a variety of basses, but in an effort to play my ukes again, I joined a harmonica duo who's uke player dropped out. We play in the lobby of the Los Angeles Veteran's Hospital once a week.
I saw this design a few days ago being sold in Bruce Wei's eBay store, so I contacted him to make me one with a spalted mango top and he suggested for strength, a curly mango body. It's in the works for $445 shipped.
I'm totally fascinated that it doesn't have a top sound hole, only a side hole and a series of small sound ports all the way around the body. I'm taking a chance that it will sound good, but he's made me three ukes and one ready made that all sound pretty good.
