I like Noah ukes a lot and the guy behind them is a top bloke. I know they sometimes have flaws, but this is where personal service and back support comes in. He will bend over backwards to sort...

Killer looks, and thankfully doesn't let down in the playing either..

I used to know the measurements and use feeler gauges to set relief on electric guitars, but been doing them for 30 plus years now - so tend to do them by eye. Sighting down from the nut I kind of...

Just so light to hold!

Outstanding tone and quality. Really made me take a step back in surprise. I had heard they were good, but not THIS nice.

A first for me with this brand and a very special ukulele. Japanese quality control and precision in spades!

Second archtop ukulele review in a fortnight! A far better offering than the Kala.

Been around for a long time these... bit long in the tooth methinks..

Thanks very much Kenn

Yes - one I would never get rid of!

I actually found they squeak less. In fact the squeak is something I get with regular Nylguts and a reason I don't use them. A luthier in the UK told me he has same problem, but put it down to his...

Wouldn't argue with those Nickie.

I tried some (once) and quite liked them - and this is me - the guy who never likes talking about strings.

Saying that, I never bought any more so can't have formed a bond with me!!...

Despite being 'that guy who reviews ukes' - I make it very clear that my reviews are simply my opinion and I am not telling anyone to agree with me.

Despite this I must get asked at least twice a...

I keep mine in a TGI hard case. Very good, very snug.

Yeah - stocks are shaky in lots of places. Seen a few in European shops. UK guys tell me that it could be a few months for them to arrive over here.

Yep - always really sharply put together.

New from aNueNue - and an instrument that I have really fallen for!

iRig Acoustic Stage sounds excellent IMHO

Saw those. Also think I saw a post that (sadly) pointed out that Matt (being a one man band outfit, shopkeeper and teacher) was struggling to keep all the balls in the air - so I think for now he's...

Depends ENTIRELY on the ukulele. Mainland carry it off well. And Millar on this one get it just right for me, because it's so purposeful and well done.
...

Depends entirely on

1. The wood
2. The construction
3. The scale / size of uke

Some woods lend well to bookmatching, some less so. Tops, depending on scale can be two piece (can be...

Actually though - with spruce isn't that the sign the wood has been properly quartersawn and a sign of good quality?

Another retrospective looking at those core ukulele 'keepers' that I own and mentioned recently, and i've given this one a new video to show it off better.

The (slightly miserable!) story of part...

Absolutely needs to be LIGHT as possible and adjustable. The weight of the Shubb for me (which I use on guitars) totally rules it out for a uke capo. The weight and a light instrument don't make a...

Yep - sadly there is a lot of it about Nickie. Anything BUT impartial.
