8 String Tenor this thing is a screamer very powerful sound. I was mostly into 4 strings but this ukulele change my mind.

Here is some more pics, don't mind the finger print marks it somehow glared in the photo taking.


The wood changes its color and grains when you look at it from different angles its pretty cool it reminds me of some hologram marvel and dc cards..

Those are sweet. I like the darker one.

What is the new dimension sound hole?
 
wa wa wee waaa.... dammmm niiice
 
Is the ring around the soundhole actually raised up a bit? I can't quite tell from the pics - I was wondering if that's what's meant by the dimension soundhole. They are truly beautiful!

I'm no expert but i do know math. That sound hole appears to have a larger diameter and circumference than normal ukuleles. I would bet one of my ukes that is what the new dimension sound hole is.
 
BEAUTIFUL. I've never seen anything like it!

And might I suggest you amp the 4 string????? 6 strings are used mainly for strumming, and that's not all you want to do on stage right? :D
 
Those look amazing, but it's a little hard to tell from the high contrast in your images. Next time, instead of putting them on the couch with the window behind them, put them across from the couch, with the window behind you. You may have to angle them a little to avoid a reflection from the window, but your camera should have an easier time with the lighting and the exposure.
 
These look awesome. I'd also go with the pickup in the 4 string--will be great for solos!
 
Nice looking ukes. I found that his ukes have a beautiful tone and project well. Hopefully after developing a little more callous and technique, I'll be able to work up to one of his 6 or 8 string tenors. Uncle Sonny spent 3 hours one afternoon talking story and playing some songs for me, my family and a friend while we were visiting his shop.
