Sound 10
I started on a soprano and really liked the cheery sound that came from it and it took a while for the sound of a low g to catch on me. I found it more versatile to my playing style as I like to play more mellow sounding songs and sometimes the cheery high g just wont cut it. It has a rich tone and more volume than I expected.
Action, Fit & Finish 10
The action on this instrument was slightly lower than my first and I am loving the ease that comes from it. The seams on the instrument are virtually invisible. I have to look very closely at the instrument and in depth to find flaws. The inlays are marvelous. The nitro cellouse finish makes it glimmer in any light.
Reliability/Durability 9
This uke was built to last. Looking at it from a construction stand point it should be good for years to come.
Customer Support 9
There is a satisfaction guarantee. Also there is a one year instrument guarantee if anything goes wrong that is within normal playing, i.e. not abusing the ukulele.
Overall Rating 9.5
* How long have you been playing? Year and a half
* What other gear do you own? Mahalo Les Paul and a pocket amp. Clip tuner
* Is there something you wish you had asked before buying this ukulele? Possibility of adding a pick up. I just didn't want to have him have to go through having to disassemble such a beautiful work.
* If it were stolen or lost, would you buy it again or get something else? If I couldn't track down the culprit then yes I would buy another. Ouch Mr. Wallet.
* What do you love about it? Pretty much everything. I love the look, the tone, the volume, and the inlays.
* What do you hate? Its to precious to take some places. I have a fear of breaking it.
* What is your favorite feature? The inlay of the palm tree
* Did you compare it to other ukuleles? Which ones? Mahalo Les Paul
* Why did you choose this one? Show the difference from high end to low end.
* Anything you wish it had? A pick up or maybe straps
* Anything else you'd like to share?
About the only way to get your hands on one of Chuck Moore's Ukuleles is to contact him. He was gracious enough to put me on a contact list for when he had ukuleles become available.
