As I was cruising the forums and impatiently waiting for a tenor uke to ship (currently in setup at HMS), I saw this little uke for sale, and it was less than an hour away from me. I'd been toying with the idea of getting a Mahogany Tenor or Concert, and figured I'd go take a look at it.I kind of felt like I needed a pick-me-up, as I lost a dog to old age two days ago.
As soon as I saw it, I loved it! Very nice flamey look for Mahogany, and I love the stripes down the headstock and neck (looks like maybe Maple?)
Its very loud, and very punchy! Currently strung with some kind of clear flurocarbons. Its almost too punchy for me on the highs, so I may swap in some worth browns I have sitting around just to see if it will mellow the highs just a little. All-in-all, happy with this little guy. It may replace my Ohana as my travel uke.
Photos below and a link to a raw soundscape file of me just plunking around on it a bit.
