I just love your reviews, please don't ever stop them!
Nice. I toyed with making a purchase of the Moonbird concert that was for sale on HMS. Your review made it really tempting, but the price was too steep for me at the time. I’m in the US. Anyone have experience buying & shipping from World of Ukes?
Just checked. The price shown also includes shipping to USA. Matt explained that VAT included in the price, is not collected on exports, so that money is used to pay for shipping.
Question for Barry about the aNueNue neck. Would you describe it as thick, medium, or thin? In comparison to others I've played......thick being Pono, medium being a KoAloha or Kanilea, and thin being a Loprinzi. I have heard the aNueNue described by others as thinner than Kanilea, but not as thin as Loprinzi. From your review it sounds like a C shaped neck, as opposed to a flatter D shape?
One other question. The Moonbird has a very slightly radiused fret board (per Andrew at HMS). Does the Lightbird have that same slight radius?
Thanks for your detailed reviews. Super helpful.
for us in the USA, the lightbird seems to be about $850 on preorder. kinda pricey for an import, but it appears to be a great instrument. thanks for a comprehensive review. would love to take one for a spin.
looking at the WOU site, they also have a Kiwaya KPT-1M All Solid Tenor Ukulele,
I'm a big Kiwaya fanboy, would love to try out one of those too. there was one on reverb for $900, so they seem to be in the same ballpark on $
Yes. The World of Ukes description (and preorder offer). Say the design comes with a slotted headstock.Wondering if the Concert will have a slotted headstock also?
I think the better comparison is with the Anuenue Moonbird @ $1,500 new.... and that model sold like hot cakes!
Quality costs, even with Chinese import ukes.
