So busy, so a bonus midweek short review from Got A Ukulele. A variation on a theme from Enya!

Thanks Baz.

A short but thorough review. May be a bit quick for a newbie but very serviceable for the sophisticated Baz watcher.ld:

Think it's best to watch / read the concert review first - that deals with thing like the background construction etc in a lot more detail. Those points are identical for the soprano - it's just a bit smaller!

Great price - just $60 on Amazon.

As for the strings - String Material 碳素

I think I'll be able to resist this one. I have two concert Nova U ukes.

I just got the soprano via the Prime Day Sale. At about 45 bucks, it was hard to pass up, even for someone who doesn't tend to display symptoms of UAS. It's a lot of fun to play, but I'm not crazy about the strings. Any recommendations?

I replaced mine with Worth Clear CM. The Enya strings are too low tension for me.

Agreed - never liked the Enya stock strings. Glad they moved to D'Addario for the Tenor version
