A lot of you saw my thread from two days ago about my "weather delay" in opening my new ukulele. Well here she is!
She is a Collings Sunburst UT-3, Quilted maple sides and back, tiger maple neck and spruce top. She made her debutant appearance at the 2010 summer NAMM show in Nashville. I bought her from Mackenzie River music in Eugene, OR. Bob and his wife Susan were a dream to deal with, could not have been nicer. We could have talked about ukes and Collings in particular for hours.
As many of you know I name all of my ukuleles, and this one is no exception. I have named her Spitfire for her bold, look at me appearance. She definitely has an attitude, but she is an absolute DREAM to play.
IMO, no other limited production company can match the build quality of Collings. The fit and finish are truly second to none. And oooooooh the sound.
Sometime in the next few days I plan on posting a thread comparing her with what I consider the benchmark, my Moore Bettah tenor. OMG, how do I choose which one to play? Eeny meeny miny moe? Rock paper scissors?
In a related note, keep an eye on the marketplace, I could be selling some highly sought after ukuleles. Don't know how I can play anything else after these two.
