LoPrinzi questions

rreffner · Aug 14, 2011

I have been thinking about a new tenor for some time and recently have been to the LoPrinzi website.

Anyone have one of their instruments? Any and all comments will be appreciated.

Mahalo,
Rich

I recently started a thread about this over here: http://www.ukuleleunderground.com/forum/showthread.php?51522-LoPrinzi-Model-3-or-Kamaka-HF-3

I'll be ordering one within the next 3 or 4 weeks. As for which model of tenor, I haven't yet decided.

There are many of us w/LoPrinzi's. Augustino LoPrinzi has been making guitars for MANY years & ukulele's for only a few years less. His daughter, Donna, has apprenticed under his expert tutelage & creates the bulk of the ukulele's now, though "Augie" is still very involved in the work. They are simply one of the best buys in a US, handmade ukulele you will find. Great tone, superior workmanship, and excellent customer service. I can't think of any reason that I would give up the one I have; its so well made & sounds so sweet.

I was playing one of the Model A Mahogany tenors quite frequently at Elderly Instruments and feel in love with it. It was only around $400 but I could not afford it. Wonderful fast neck and the instrument just felt to be alive in your hands. I have a great deal of respect for them and would definitely put it on my list of ukulele's I would like to own, along with several other manufacturer's ukuleles.

I used to own a lovely cherry tenor LoPrinzi. Really sweet sounding instrument. I also bought a mango sopranino for my young son which is just wonderful. Donna and Augie build great ukes.

I have and love LoPrinzi's Nova mahogany concert and because of it's unique design draws lots of attention. Have had a few offers to take it off my hands. Keeping this one.

True dat!
Built VERY lightly, too (which I think is a secret to making a great ukulele).

I may own and enjoy other ukuleles, but they'll have to pry my LoPrinzi out of my hands.
