Last night I read a post by Ukeon Territory saying that Sailor Brand ukes are better than any other brand. Another poster said something like- take it easy, it's not a competition. Ukeon replies that uke
companies are in a blood bath competition.
So I replied that this was false and the best builders are more busy than they can handle and that his promotional approach was no service to the instrument. I also stated it was odd that Sailor Brand
was made in America, but the Luthier wanted to remain anonymous. American luthiers will usually stand behind their work.
So a bit controversial, but when I can make it to UU I often have a few cents to throw in and I don't agree with anyone trying to tell everyone that one brand is better than all others. Most of us understand it to be much too complicated and subjective to make such statements. I figured I would have something amusing to see here today but when I got up and checked my emails, there was one titled- "ANDREW . ARE YOU REALLY THSAT STUPID?" Spelling was funny given the subject title, and I don't usually click on things like that, but I saw it was from UKEON TERRITORY. This is the entire message copied and pasted without one word missing. Wouldn't normally share private mail but this is just outrageous,
Racism is ugly and offensive. And not based in reality. Is this person actually respected as a member here? Or even allowed to enjoy this wonderful forum started by locals in Hawaii?
Checked the post and it was gone so I had no idea what was said.
But just to make sure, there are other people that have disagreed with this person and aren't..missing..right? Because I love Sailor Brand. I promise, no please....

Edit: Hateful post removed at the request of the original poster. Thanks. -seeso.
