Ok, I watched Petey's '5 Martin comparison' video a few weeks back....and was unable to resist my UAS.

My new OXK soprano Martin showed up today. What a nice Uke! It's overall a great little player and I am very pleased with the south-of-the-border build. The intonation is as close to perfect as I have ever played, and the Martin fluoro strings work very well. I like them.

I now have a 'plastic' uke in my fold and I like it very much. I'll probably make it my take with me uke so I don't worry so much about humidity and bumps, scratches or cracks. (Yes, I really do take a uke with my on a jet...make fun, but it's true. And the pressurization system makes the air all but water free, i.e., humidity is extremely low.)

I'm not sure what I'll do with 17 frets....har.

Nice! Need video! Since you spend all that time hanging around the tarmac you just need to get a little flip camera or something and you can shoot videos all day :)
 
Congratulations!
 
No flip camera, but I suppose my iphone would work.....stand by.
