Upgraded from Luna tattoo concert laminate to a vietnamese import from Taisamlu on ebay. It is an Alulu concert Hummingbird. Solid Acacia top sides and back With MOP inlays
Headplate: acacia
Neck : mahogany
Fingerboard : rosewood, MOP inlay birds
Bridge:rosewood
Nut & Saddle: buffalo bones
Tuners :geared metal
Aquila strings.
I will post a sound sample as soon as I can figure out how to move it from my phone to here.
I am liking the sound a lot. it has opened up quite a bit since I got it last month and is louder than when it was out of the box. The action is a little high at the 10th -16th frets and this week there has been a slight buzz in my A string when it is played open, but I am going to have it set up as soon as I get some living water strings for it. I love the aquilas on my Luna, but feel like i can get even more out of this uke with different strings so I will try the highly touted living water strings. It has been the uke I pick up every day since I got it and now I think it is more than Just because it is new. The sound is much smoother than my laminate Luna and seems fuller. I cant wait to try new strings on it.
