My UAS got wild and out of control but I think I got it back now...
Story time! For a while now I had my Enya mahogany tenor (beater-kinda as it's not so expensive) and my custom from the UK Tenor. I was keeping the custom in Low-G and the Enya in High G.
Then I discovered that the "local" Kanile'a dealer had some in stock and could even get a KSR-T just for me ordered in. I had some money saved, so I pulled the trigger and got my Kanile'a, which I love... But then, I play it all the time and my custom and the Enya both get very neglected because they just can't sound as good!
This weekend, SUS in the UK have a KoAloha KTM-00 USED but in perfect condition on the site (and I barely ever see them for sale in Europe) and I know that KoAloha even come with Low G... and I don't have a low G uke that I like the sound of now because Kanile'a ruined me!
So long story short I ordered it (hopefully coming this week!) and now I will have a Kanile'a AND a KoAloha Tenor in just 3 weeks (and the custom will go). My plan is to keep the KoAloha in low G and the Kanile'a in High G and then I should have an amazing uke in both tunings and that should hopefully kill off the UAS for good, or at least for a long while!
I'll probably hang onto the Enya as an "everywhere" uke because it was not so expensive I would get much back from selling it anyways.
So - unknown custom and an Enya to 2 K-Brands in under a month. I am very grateful that I had the money to do such a thing and now I can hopefully focus on actually playing the things! So excited Especially since I never actually heard a KoAloha in person and was an impulse thing!
I am pretty sure I'm safe from feeling drawn to a Kamaka because they have 35mm nut and it's just too small for me...
