I love this Uke for its great feel, playability and excellent tone. Really superb to my ears. I love the tone and clarity and although I have played almost exclusively high G, the oasis warms linear strings on this seem to suit it really well. I plan to keeping these on for the foreseeable, but I will try a high G set at some point.
Just a couple of things to note. This is a 2018 model, will flat finish fretboard, indistinguishable to ebony in look and feel to me. The back and sides are the new darker finish made to look like grain i presume. I like it and it's fairly glossy, though the grain does not flow in one direction at the heel of the neck where the neck and sides meet.
I did hear that blackbird were now using brown or black glue on the insides, but as you can see, i have some white in mine, which is the only negative I can pick up on. Most else what I can see inside seem to have neat dark brown glue.
To me it's worth the money. I'm very happy and it will get a lot of use.
