This is not a technical review, but an update on a Green Soprano Outdoor Ukulele that I've have for just about a week.
I took it to our weekly song circle and it performed very well.
I led some songs and was able to get things started OK, but it is not the loudest uke
by any means. I just strummed 'harder' to get a bit more volume, but
once we got started I was able to settle back and simply enjoy the song
with the other strummers
I must admit that during louder songs I have to agree with several reviewers
that at times I almost couldn't hear myself playing the uke.
In other words I did get the feeling of being 'drowned out' at times,
not often, but in the interest of full disclosure, 'at times'.
All in all, my experiences with the Outdoor Soprano have been very
enjoyable and rewarding... so much so, that I ordered a Carbon Soprano
which should be arriving next week
I did not order it to do any comparisons, but just to see if it would be louder
for song circle song leading. I suppose that is a comparison of sorts
I'll try to provide an update if I remember.
meanwhile, I hope all of you have a favorite uke to play today!
