This was supposed to arrive yesterday. Then the post office said it would arrive on Monday. When I got back from the store, it was waiting for me.
The Peanut is a decent size, as you can see compared to the concert Fluke. The little gig bag is nice, but I'm going to see if I have a soprano hard case that will accept it. I like the slotted headstock and the backwards-facing tuners. It has a gold strap button on the lower bout, and the "Bugs Gear" brand name on the headstock. I don't know how this fits into the Bugs Gear family, but Philip K also seems to be the one behind the Eleuke, so brand names may be irrelevant.
It tuned right up, and it sounds nice. If I were beginning a recording career, this would not be my choice of instrument, but for what it is, I have no complaints. The sound is nice, and the volume is okay. It's small enough that it could be tucked away anywhere.
We're playing at a nursing tomorrow, and I'll bring this uke.
