Took delivery of a new (to me) ukulele yesterday. It's a gorgeous five string tenor made by Rob Collins from the UK. English walnut with a laburnum fretboard. Sound is warm and soothing. Love it!

Wow! Michael that is a gorgeous walnut 5-string from Rob. Congrats! Looking forward to hearing it. The high/low g strings expands the range and provides nice harmonics. I found 5-strings more playable than a 6-string.

thank you. I will!
I've been looking at his ukes for a couple of years now. I'm very happy to own one now! And fart jokes are the best.
Thanks, Hodge! You're right about the harmonics. The sound is much broader then with a four string. And I'm still able to pick just the high G when weaving melodies. I might want to try and lover the action though. I think there's some room for improvement in that department.

Congratulations Michael! It's beautiful. Looking forward to hearing you play it more than just looking at it though, I confess! Peace mate.

Thanks, Jon! We really need to make some new videos again. Things have been slow the last couple of months.
