Here is the new Uke that I pondered upon a lot until I finally decided. It's a Kala FMT, Spruce top and Spalted Flame Maple sides and back. Satin finish. Got it from HMS, I like it.

Here is my new Collings UC-1. I buffed the satin finish to a gloss with Novis 2 Fine Scratch Remover, recommended by Mark Althans at Collings, using an old T-shirt. It took about 3 1/2 hours and turned out great. It's a beautifully made, easy playing and wonderful sounding 'ukulele.
This is Jack View attachment 42785 I named him after the person who first put a ukulele in my hands. There is no looking back now. I'm just having a ukein good time
