I feel I am a bit of a snob but how much importance do other people place in the country where a uke is made? You see lot's of US, Hawaiian, Australian etc companies with their production offshore.
I work in the surfboard game and 75% of the boards I sell nowdays would come from Thailand and China and some of these are excellent products, as good as a locally made board and certainly cheaper. That being said I usually prefer to ride a local handmade board and likewise I am drawn to a Hawaiian, US or locally made Uke. Am I over looking some great and collectable jumping fleas by narrowing my focus?
