Why am I quoting Britney Spears? No hate here but I don't think I've ever even listened to one of her songs on purpose. Anyway......
I sold one of my old ukes a couple months ago to make room for another uke I had my eye on. I put myself into a cooling off period for a while to make sure that I really wanted it. My ardor for that uke had cooled a bit but I was still interested in it when this uke popped up on my radar. While researching it I read that they were no longer producing this uke so when the stores sold out, that was it. One of the 3 sources I was looking at had just sold out so on somewhat of an impulse I pulled the trigger on a Romero Creations ST concert ukulele w/hardfoam case.
What really intrigued me about this uke besides its shape is that it has a tenor body, a concert scale and is the size of a soprano in total length. (22") It's got a solid spruce top with laminated mahogany sides/back, a compensated saddle and an enlarged sound hole. It comes strung with a low G which I don't have on any of my other ukes. I'm hoping that it has a full tenor sound because I have no tenors. (I don't really like the tenor scale.) This will be my first purchase from Uke Republic. I ordered it earlier today and already got notice that it will be shipping later today. I should be strumming away by next Tues or Wed!
