Friends:
I've lived with the Kiwaya KTS4 for about a week now. The strings have settled in, and...
It is simply exceptional. The tone, action (thanks MGM) and simple beauty of it takes my breath away.
I love my vintage ukes, I really, really do, but sometimes I get tired of old tuners and the quirks of an 50 to 80 year old instrument. Sometimes I just want ez, state of the art playing. The Kiwaya KTS4 is just that. It is a vintage uke without vintage problems, just like Mike says.
If you are a serious fan of mahogany soprano ukes, save your money and buy one.
I'll do a more formal and actual review sometime. But I had to tell you how impressed I am with this instrument. I've never been more impressed!
