What have we here?
 
Well that's just not fair!
 
It's my new Mainland Mahogany Soprano with Mi-Si pickup!

It came about a half hour before we had to leave for a three hour Spanish class, so I haven't had a lot of time to play with it yet. I charged it up for a few seconds and plugged it into my little practice bass amp (not optimal, I realize!), just to make sure the pickup worked ok. I've played it acoustically a bit since we got home an hour and a half ago. I like it! Mike told me he'd pick out a nice one for me, and I think he did. I went with the gloss finish. I bought my niece a matte finish for her 18th birthday back before I got my pineapple. The matte finish looks nice, but I think the grain really pops with the gloss finish.
Now I have a ukulele that I can take to the local open mic jam. I might actually stand a chance at being heard over the other instruments! Unfortunately, I don't think I will be able to make it to one until late November when our Spanish class ends, since it's on the same night.
 
Congrats on your new uke. Enjoy. Post sound sample when you get a chance. Por favor.
 
That looks lovely i thought it was satin at first. The mi-si sounds very natural I think I'm only using a bass amp also
