Last Autumn, I tried a Bruko No. 6 soprano at a dealer's stall at a Uke Fest. Much as I liked it, I didn't buy it at the time as I went for a Tenor instead (which I am really pleased with). I didn't give up the idea of a Bruko Soprano, though and when I saw they had a cherry wood among their special editions I decided to go for it.
It arrived today and it's a beauty. Cherry wood body, flame Maple neck with Rosewood fingerboard and Cherry Wood overlay on the neck. Rosewood two piece bridge. Arched back. Great tone - I really like the Bruko sound and my three Brukos have a definite family likeness in their tone. Yes, it has the usual Bruko high setup but, on a quick check, intonation is good. Bruko are fitting Pyramid Fluorocarbon strings these days and I like them, they give a tone that I like and they ring out so I won't be changing them. I have tuned it ADF#B. The friction tuners are nice and smooth and I had no trouble getting it in tune.
