    New Uke Day (NUD) NUD: Flight Diana TE Soundwave

    Arrived yesterday afternoon, Great build quality, and fantastic sound. The Cedar is bright but has an incredible warmth at the same time, I am surprised by tremendous sustain. Strings are still settling. Nut and saddle height are spot on as is the intonation. Will have more time today to get...

    Strings Worth Browns for a Concert.

    I really like Worth Brown BT's on a couple of my Tenors. But I am struggling to choose a set for a Concert. My preference would be set that may have similar tension to the Tenor BT's. I prefer a bit higher tension. Recommendations? Appreciate the input, Steve.

    ENYA EUC-X1M Concert. Have been eyeing this for a while, received a couple of gift cards for Christmas and decided to pull the trigger.

    Totally up front here. I was looking for a low budget Concert with electronics. I spent a bit of time researching this. it is a Riobo brand, made in china and sold on Amazon. I took the risk with 12% off which left me at $47.99 all in. I am more than pleasantly surprised. Solid top, sound hole...

    NUUG DAY

    Came across a Yamaha CG102, 2015 model. Looks nearly unplayed. $50.00. Cleaned it up, polished the frets, oiled the fretboard and installed a new set of D'addario EJ45LP's. Thrilled with the sound, feel and looks. Will be an excellent first classical for me to slide over to guitar from Ukulele...

I have a set of Fremont Blackline mediums on the way for it as well as a set of UPT’s. It came with the HSC and I am almost ashamed of how little I paid...
