Hi all,
This week I finally got the chance to snap up a Ken Timms Style 0 soprano on eBay. I've always been too late or it was just not exactly the one I wanted (sometimes they have golden tuners instead of silver or have a lighter colour).
Ken prices his ukuleles very attractively. They are real bargains. My only soprano was a Martin S1 ('the Mexican'), but the Ken Timms blows it out of the water. Richer, louder, deeper tones and it also does replicate the Martin 'jangle sound'. The Ken Timms has a domed back, something the Martin S1 doesn't have.
What first caught my eye when unboxing the ukulele was the finish. The french polish really makes a difference. What a beauty.
The looks, the sound: all a big wow!
