This must be the Clearwater Vita Soprano you were saving for. Congratulations! Can't wait to hear more about it. I am not familiar with the Clearwater ukes.

Still waiting for strings to settle and to see if they need a change before posting a sound sample, but so far I love it! Clearwater Ukes are a UK brand, I hadn't heard of them, but did some research on them before parting with my cash!
 
It's also acoustic/electric which I didn't realise!

Very pretty! And I like what I've heard so far :D
 
Fabulous Joey! I am curious if that shape has the same difference in sound as the pineapple shape. You don't hear as much about them. I look forward to your sound sample. I love new uke day!
 
8 ukes now!!! WOW!!!! Your powering through UAS like nobody's business!!! Less than a year ago I recall reading of you getting your 2nd uke, and it's all downhill from there. haha...

That's a cool looking uke. I've seen the shape before, but this one looks very nice. Makes me want to play some Baraoque or Lute style music!
Electric pickup is a bonus!

Cheers,
Skottoman
 
Congrats Joey! We gonna see a DU tomorrow with this little beauty? :p

I do the vids in advance and I have a few to get through, but once the strings settle and I change them if needed, they'll be a sound sample here and on my blog :D
