It's been a while since I've posted a NUD! Yes, UAS still plays a part in my life
I just recently started liking the soprano scale ... previously I found it a bit confining and prefer concerts and tenors. Plinked on a couple of sopranos and said "I need one of those!"
So, contacted Mike at Mainland about a possible "2nd" available. He had some so I ordered a matte finish with chrome friction tuners. They use a quality friction tuner, and I've had them before on a couple other Mainlands that mistakenly got rehomed. They work great!
One piece top, back and sides ... Impressive build for such an "affordable" uke! I've always been a fan of the rope binding too.
Changed strings from the Aquilla ... not a fan ... and put on Freemont Hards ... one of my favorites. Noticeable change in tone. I like!
Thanks Mike! GREAT to deal with you again! This soprano is beautiful. You sure produce lovely ukes!
