Lotmusic asked if I would review their ukulele; I replied that I already had; they let me know that it was a new version--and it is.
It's a pretty solid beginner ukulele made of laminate sapele, and a better kit than their other model--but I miss some of the special touches of the mahogany version. Of greatest concern is the action on this one at the nut...1mm at the 1st fret. Easily enough rectified, but maybe not for the beginner this instrument is aimed at.
I came to the conclusion while recording the reviews that this is the Toyota Corolla of ukulele. It's well mannered, will get you from point A to point B, at an affordable price--but it's still a Corolla. And that isn't a put-down...all of our automobiles are Toyotas.
The two videos below are the One Minute Ukulele Review, as well as the extended UkeGuide ukulele review. Please take note that the UkeGuide videos are rather extensive, so feel free to skip to parts that interest you.
