Hi All, I just got a new Luna High Tide Tenor last week and don't really know what to make of it yet. I like everything about it except for the sound which is so. . . hollow? mellow? dull? I'm not really sure how to describe it. My points of comparison are my other two ukes: a KPK deluxe concert and an Oscar Schmidt OU2. Both sound punchy and additionally the KPK sounds lovely, but the sound from the Luna seems to resonate in a way that leaves the sound loud but muddy (if that makes any sense.)
Since I have so little experience with other ukes, I don't know whether the fact that it is a tenor has something to do with it or whether the electronics might be to blame. I can imagine that this sound might be very desirable for certain types of playing, especially in a band, but it is leaving me doubtful that I will keep it. I just don't want to order another electric tenor and find that I'm getting the same result. Any suggestions?
If anyone has had experience with this uke and can help me understand what I am hearing and why it will be greatly appreciated.
