    Anyone played a new Oli uke?

    It's here-- and it's elegant -- like a well fitted tuxedo with a flower in the lapel-- Meticulous inside and out-- I almost skipped this one as the ebony is not as heavily contrasted with lighter streaks as some -- but I really enjoy the rich almost solid dark chocolate in contrast to the white...

    High-end Ukulele Connoisseurs: Who's your favorite builder?

    Plus 1 for Luis/LFDM as the best sounding tenors I have played at any price point (lattice bracing) and Hank/Kimo as the best value in custom ukes with amazing/exotic wood selections, tasteful esthetics, and big, bold, resonant tone (Hank's super tenor is exceptional!)
