Very nice. I had no doubt this one would get a positive review as well. Bonanza seem to hit it out of the park every time. Of all the American uke builders, I would actually really like to get a Bonanza. Something about them just really calls for me. The issue there is that shipping to Europe seems to be quite a pain. Maybe I'll order one the next time I'm visiting the states again.
I don't see how that would be easier than dealing with Pete and Shelly directly. Just send them an email:I wonder if having someone in the USA buy it and ship it to you would be better.
At first glance, a Corian bridge and nut is offputting compared to bone. But then, is Corian any different than NuBone or any of the other synthetics?
Baz, you probably see more of these things than the rest of us.
What is your feeling on the tuners. Do they work good. Looks I don’t care as they are on back of head stock!
thanks for the review.less than $300 for a handmade uke I'm tempted by a homestead cherry. pretty reasonable for a solid uke I didn;t see any of the upgrades, like a thicker body, or decoration.
thanks for fueling my UAS
THey work brilliantly - my issue with them is purely about looks!!

A few months ago, I commissioned a custom uke and specifically wanted these tuners on it.
Is it me, or does this seem cheap for such a quirky, luthier-built ukulele?
