I just won this beautiful tenor uke on an eBay auction from Bruce Wei Arts in Vietnam, for, get this, $51 US! They had the same one yesterday that sold for $23. WOW! I did a little research and seems that most everyone who owns a Bruce Wei really likes it. The cost comes in the shipping, $70 and about 30 days wait.
Obviously it's inspired by a mandolin, so I'm calling it a mandolele. I've never seen this style before, and I've cruised the internet a lot looking at ukes. This has a solid Canadian spruce top, solid maple back, sides and neck, koa head, and I'm going to add a preamp/tuner, pickup and strap button.
