I've been playing reentrant tuned ukes exclusively for the past few decades! But now I have recently purchased a low G concert from a local
luthier, Kerry Bannister, because he introduced it to me last Wed at our
weekly song circle and I really enjoyed its sound and playability. I did
ask him to lower the action slightly and apply clear scratch guards on
both sides of the upper bout.
I was to have received it this coming Wed, but due to my impatience, I
was able to receive it from Kerry the next day! I have been enjoying it
since then and have used it at a gig, a song circle, and just privately.
I stayed away from low G-tuned instruments because, in my estimation,
the low G sounded overly 'bassy'. This instrument didn't. So now I'm
planning on bringing both a reentrant soprano and this low G concert
as my go-to ukes, co-Regents to rule them all
