So happy to have just received this uke! I got it to replace my Flight spruce/acacia tenor as I have moved down in scale and it fulfills the sound I want for more classical and contemporary sounding jazz playing. It complements very well my Shima longneck soprano in mahogany in terms of sound qualities. This uke is more expressive and melodic with great sustain. The build is impeccable and looks fantastic! I can certainly agree with the review by Baz on gotaukulele.
I ordered it from UKESUPPLY in Germany and it was a super experience. Jens there is very responsive and helpful and it was very well packed and arrived in NJ very quickly. Right now with the fall of the Euro against the dollar great deals can be found buying from Europe especially because they further deduct 19% from the Euro price bcz there is no VAT to charge. In my case the deduction more than offset the reasonable shipping cost.
