So, who is going to buy one and do a comparison video with a Kiwaya?Additional info :
The inside of the ukulele is the same as the Kiwaya version, but as noted prior moving and enlarging the sound hole make the top vibrate and resonate differently.
This is a special edition for Daniel Ho. He said he didn't want to do a comparison and I don't see why Kiwaya would want to either. Unless someone buys one to do their own comparison or gifts one to our Euro friends, then I don't think you will see a comparison before the limited edition is sold out.From what I now know I think of the D Ho Vintage Soprano as a Pro version of the Famous FS-1G with a pro price .
It has more frets and promises more volume , more sustain , enhanced tone , better intonation , and a bridge that's easier to string while having less problems with structural issues .
As to who is going to do a comparison , two obvious candidates would be Got a Ukulele and forum member Jan Haasler .
But as this model is a USA and Japan only release that may never happen .
Maybe Kiwaya will do a comparison video ?
Yes, unless someone wanted a laminate for travel or other uses, you can't go wrong with a nice vintage Martin. There are often good deals out there if you keep your eyes open.If I were in the US, and looking for a vintage style soprano, I would keep my $429 in my pocket, save a little more and keep my eyes peeled for a well-priced Martin Style 0….
I’m sure I’ve seen some really nice ones go on here for between $500 to $700.What's price range in USA for excellent condition ?
