HMS and Islander

ubulele said:

I consider the Islander MT and AT model lines to be the best "starter" ukes: affordable, but with the sound of "real" ukuleles, a step above the typical economy range. .... I notice from looking at the Islander site that many previous models have been dropped, particularly from the upper end. They now seem to be offering fewer wood choices and instead focusing on chasing the entry market, mainly through cheesy ..er.. fun engravings on basic models, I wonder if they're scaling back Chinese production in preparation to move operations elsewhere.
