At some point I know I would like to be purchasing a custom made uke. How can one judge the quality of build and sound from all the luthiers out there? It's not like there is a custom showroom with a wide selction to look over and listen to.
There are some that are well known and extremely expensive but then there are many in the 8 hundred to 1.2K range. So is a "K" brand a better choice than choosing a custom uke? It doesn't seem like a custom would be any better, or maybe I should say, with a "K" you know exactly what your getting for your money.
I do understand with custom you can choose your wood and bling and that is attractive, but sonically is it a roll of the dice? Any thoughts?
