So, earlier today I received notice from FedEx that I had a package awaiting pickup from Hawaii Music Supply (still amazes me how fast a package can travel from Hawaii to the east coast). I went directly to the FedEx package location because I didn't want it to sit around in a truck all day and to spare myself from obsessively peeking out the window 200 times today (Did I hear the truck? That sounds like a delivery truck! Dang.)
Got the package home and unboxed my prize. Cherry back and sides with Sitka Spruce top. All my pics turned out blurry, so I included a few snaps from HMS' original listing.
Needless to say it looks gorgeous in person and sounds sweet. The guys at HMS were very helpful throughout the process and I heartily recommend them for any of your future uke needs.
I am thinking about changing out the strings. Probably a low G. I have Worth clears on my solid mahogany Pono, and they sound great. Does anyone have any recommendations on what would pair well with the cherry/spruce top CR? I'm looking to tone down the brightness a bit. Bring in more mid-tone.
