Who makes a decent longneck soprano? Besides the K brands, what other choices are there? I'm aware of Kala. Not looking for a pineapple. Is there anything in between? Been waiting to see the KPK, but don't see any movement from them.
That Sailor Brand concert necked soprano should "kick butt" in it's price range if you don't want to move up to a K brand. On the lower end, I almost forgot the Lehua. It's all solid Australian blackwood acacia. I have one and am in the process of installing a bone nut and saddle. It can be had well under the $199 list price, especially if used. Not a great "looker" but plays and sounds very good for it's price range.

Not familiar with Sailor Brand. Are they brand labeled from a known mfg ?

I don't really get them. What's the advantage over, say a concert? I like my concert ukes. They seem to have the advantages claimed for the long neck soprano claimed above.

Booksniffer, I have a longneck Brüko soprano (maple with walnut fretboard and trim). It is gorgeous and projects extremely well, but I have a very important thing coming up and I'm afraid two of my ukes must go.
Please review my reply just above your's and listen to that KoAloha soprano pineapple vs longneck soprano pineapple demos on HMS (2 separate videos)
