My friend, Daniel, have you ever played a Collings? As you and I make the tour of ukes, buying and selling every one made, you gotta try a Collings. It'll give you pause. -- SteveThat was really good Patico. I have seen several of your videos and you have talent. I am even more intrigued that you live on Easter Island...I see there is Chilean presence there. That's cool!
Patico--I agree with you! I got a Collings UT-1 a week ago, and I can't stop playing it, either. Mine looks exactly like yours. It is, as many told me, awesome awesome awesome. Like you, I kept the Aquila strings on it, and I think they're lovely. I can't believe it--I actually like Aquila strings on my Collings! Frankly, I can't believe I like the Collings. I know they're highly touted and such, but I was just--skeptical, I guess you could say. I like it more than my Kiwaya tenor that I sold and regretted doing so.
What a fantastic song you're picked there. Wow. Sweet, man!
Hey, mine smells like---mahogany, I suppose. Strong smell, good earthy smell. Yours?
SOUP-- You were dead on right, my friend. Thanks for your encouragement. Honestly, this is a keeper, this Colllings. Just as you said, the neck and nut made no difference to me. The sound is outrageously good. You were absolutely right.Didn't I tell you you'd love it, Cool? Now what about that slim neck and narrow nut width? I didn't think I'd like it either, but it took only a few strums on mine to see the light. I love Collings ukes and think they are one of the best out there. They're very tough to beat. Great video here, too. Congrats on the new uke.
Steve,
I am like a kid in a candy shop that is almost full and allowed only one more piece. Tough decisions ahead.
Daniel
