Terrific instrument! It plays better and sounds nicer than many solid instruments. Good luck
According to Liam
The Ike has a very slightly wider bottom bout, and the May has a tighter, slightly higher waist, with a little wider and more pronounced upper bout.
The May scale is 13", the...
There was another project a number of years ago where he collaborated with Herb Ohta. Ohta writes the music and Jim adds lyrics.
With all of his books and resources, his collaboration with...
Interestingly, the original Martin taropatches were 15 inch scale. They later began making it with 4 strings, which became the concert uke.
One option on smaller ukes would be to use tenor strings
Worth strings have a great variety. Take a look ate their chart for comparison

As Shakespeare said when playing his ukulele (probably made by the Amati family in Cremona before they switched to violins)
"A uke by any other name would sound as sweet"
Oh, great.....make me regret selling it!! ;)
For reference, here is a review. Nice instrument

Reading some old topics I came across this one. Surprised that nobody had a response (not that I have one!)
I would love to have one of Liam's instruments. I love his designs and think they sound great.
I would love to hear some thoughts from owners who have had their Wunderkammers for a while. Are you...

No problem. I am glad to hear you are back on track and things are going well.
FWIW- the seller pulled it to do a small repair due to the dryness of the climate. It may end up relisted later
Always nice to hear a good soprano. My favorite. I think some of the poor quality ones really contribute a lot to the negative impression of them.
I have heard good things about Brad's instruments. Years ago I was on his list for an instrument. I am not sure what happened. I think he may have taken some time off and that seems to have fallen by...
LOL, my point exactly.
You are certainly welcome to it. You will love having a nicely made great sounding soprano. I am tempted and attracted by the amazing deal, but would be happy to let someone else jump on it since I...
No problem. Everyone has different tastes and needs. I see some instruments out there that some love and desire that I would have no interest in. The Koala Sceptre fits in that category, which to me...
Interesting, as I am sure you have spent similar money on other instruments. What would cause it to cross that line into something you would buy?
FYI- I am not challenging your views. Everyone has...
My guess would be that people are not aware of it. It is a beautiful instrument and sounds great in the clip. For something of that build quality it seems underpriced
That is now over on Reverb. https://reverb.com/item/17727530-ukulelezaza-style-3-soprano-ukulele
It is a beauty and sounds great
I think you make a number of good points.
It is valuable to use a tuner or app that will play the reference pitch so it can sustain. It may be easier at first than trying to match a pitch as it...
