Just got my tenor Multiuke Wednesday. It's the uke I've really been waiting for ever since I started playing. It's taken a few days to warm up to it, but I'm very happy (despite the big chunk it took out of my VISA card.)
Curious what others think of the concept of a uke that plays like an top-notch electric (feels like a Les Paul shrunk in the dyer) and that sounds like a high-end acoustic when plugged in. It's definitely a uke built for performing and recording like the Nylon Multiac guitar it was modeled after. It's a very different beast than any acoustic or electric uke I've played. Things I'm curious about:
Will it flop because uke players are just too attached to the acoustic format?
Being really unique, will it carve a niche for itself with players looking for a performance or studio uke?
In light of custom tenors and the Hawaiian K ukes selling for over $1000, is $750-850 still too much for a primo small-factory-made uke like this? (In my opinion the quality of design and build is definitely worth the cost.)
Thoughts?
