In this clip I demonstrate a Millar (longneck) soprano ukulele (spruce top, descritption in the video) witha fantastic feel and sound quality straight out of the box. Those Millars really have a wonderful tone. You can compare its tones next to the Martin S1 and Brükos I demo in this video too.
Good action, punchy and sweet tones. I am still a Brüko fan and play my old Martin Style 0 the most but if I'd like to have a new ukulele I might get my hands down on a Millar too. To me it is somehwere between modern with building tradtion in mind and a fantastic quality (and price point around 360 Euros).
The Martin S1 from solid mahagony strongly reminded me of the Flight WUS 3 model or the Kiwaya KS-1 (both high quality laminate woods) which I played a lot and excessively for a while (and recorded with them).
Fantastic sound and feel (Barry did a well known "Got a Ukulele review" for this model).
Of course my old MArtin Style ß which is aged and has been played a lot has a more open, punchy and barking sound. But for the price point and the quality you get with the S1 (plus the well padded gigbag) you can not go wrong for a good quality soprano ukulele with the typical sound (even straight out of the box).
It was just a fun video to demo those models and compare them a bit to what I play usually.
HAppy strumming and do not hesitate to ask things or comment.
