I just ran across this uke listed on the Elderly website. Looks like it's built well. I wonder what it sounds like?

I can't say that Hilo strings inspire confidence in me when installed on an expensive uke.
I wonder what it sounds like?
Ever heard of GString Ukulele Company?
Waverly Street made one a while back there is a sound sample here.
We are contemplating doing a batch of new ones... They would look like this: http://www.wsukes.com/130/u130.html with the body of aluminum, everything else wood/normal. It would be a bit of an investment though, to get the metal parts laser cut, and I'm not convinced there is a sufficient market for them to justify it. There would be me and another guy involved, and we both gotta make money off the project. Price would need to be in the $800 range to make it work... Am I right to be skeptical?
