Being on vacation with my Soprano uke (a Mainland laminate "Gecko") made me appreciate the soprano size ukulele more.
This made me get a bit of UAS and do a bit of shopping for another Soprano ukulele.
Then I came across this soprano sized APC Braguinha from Uke Republic:
http://ukerepublic.bigcartel.com/product/apc-solid-spruce-top-mahogany-b-s-portuguese-braguinha
I was hooked and ordered one.
Why?
I also play guitar, and personally find DGBE tuning to be more comfortable for accompanyment.
Steel strings are not a problem for me, as I also play guitar and like the extra projection.
I also love it how it is Soprano size. From this travel experience, I have learned that it is the best size for travel.
I intend to tune it in DGBE (octave higher than guitar).
I am not a fan of the stock Braguinha strings, where only the 4th string is thicker and the other 3 are the same gauge. I intend to replace them with the top 4 strings of an acoustic guitar set, possibly an extra light .10 set.
Any experiences with the Braguinha?
