Apart from the Bruko ukulele made in Germany has any one else produced a shallow depth instrument with a reasonable sound?
Good reports on the Kala slimlines. MGM seems to have them most of the time.
MGM also has three, no, make that two KoAloha Slimlines (Paul kept one), and he has another one coming from some guy out in the second city. Supposed to have a few tropical flowers inlaid on the fretboard.

I've just bought a Kala Slimline soprano Travel Uke. Don't wish to diss the Bruekos, but they've never appealed to me. The Kala sounds amazingly loud and full toned. It has geared tuners, which - combined with the slim, light body - make it feel a bit top heavy, but the tuners work very well, and I've quickly adjusted to the feel of it.
A very satisfactory purchase. Definitely a keeper.

MrUketober has a super thin cigar box that sounds really good.
