Here's a pic of my sopranos. Left to right are 50's gold label Kamaka, early 40's Favilla U2, Kiwaya KTS-4, Famous FS-5 (lam koa) and Famous FS-0 (thinline lam mahogany). I'm liking the Favilla alot right now, and the thinline FS-0 is very cool, a great sound for such a small package. Now to decide which to keep :rolleyes: It's really fun to have them all out and compare, and rather amazing how different they can sound, each with its own particular voice.

You have a mighty fine little family there! :)

Enjoy them! :music:
 
I am sorry you have to choose.
 
Looks good.

Of course, even if they didn't, I wouldn't want to insult the Soprano family...
 
Tough problem to have!
 
Lovely collection there!
Did you see Baz's article on his Got a Ukulele site about Sopranos not getting any love?
 
I fall into that category because I don't find the scale comfortable, but I do have long necks, so it's not really that I don't like sopranos, just the scale. ;)

Have you ever tried a soprano with a 1.5" neck? It makes a WORLD of difference! I just got my first one and it is as easy to play as my concerts. The stretch is obviously different, but the comfort on the fretboard is there.
