Update on my weatherproof ukulele. Got the Enya tenor with pickup, and put on a set of Aquila Supers with a Red low G. Acoustically, the ukulele sounds amazingly good, even and very bright. In fact, I like that the Aquilas tone down that brightness a bit, and adds more volume. I have to give credit to Enya. The pitch and intonation are spot on, even up the neck. The metal frets and radius fretboard are amazing. I'm getting used to the wider fingerboard,which many folks like, but I need to get adjusted to.
The electronics, which provide "internal" amplification and effects, are pretty lame. I'd rather have a simple pickup, and if it has to be active, I'd like a built in tuner that cuts off the amp when tuner activated. That's great for stage work. Too bad they concentrated on the useless on board effects. In lieu of batteries, it charges via USB, which is kind of cool. It sounds nice plugged into my Fishman Mini Charge.
The bottom line is that this instrument is going to give me what I need: something I can use outside and into the evening when dew falls. It cost only a bit over $200, so it is a bargain. It will easily fit into the camper and the canoe.
