Right now I feel bad that the OP has had to be reminded that his choices in the past, as well as the perceived future choice, have been made into a subject of ridicule. This is not a good thing, but it's the "internet", where every person with a fake name can come on and make as much fun of a person as much as they want, sort of a smorgasbord of passive-aggressive insult.
I have no love for the sort of instruments that are being made or promoted by folks like BW or Antonio Tsai, it's the humidity and the lack of control that forces those instruments into failure when they import to drier climates, but geez guys, show some compassion to a guy in school, learning just like everyone else. I've made bad choices uke-wise, guitar-wise, money-wise, wife-wise, and paid my tuition just like anyone. I don't need, nor would it be productive, to be hit over the head like some of you have done to the OP.
Idunno, I'm usually way wrong in most of my posts, so this is probably just another one. And I've read every post. Some good and decent lessons on the validity of purchasing from this seller, as well as the country of origin at this time, but some really made me cringe at the brutality of the "soft attack" in the guise of a helping hand.
....do you have to get a special permit .....LOL
