Tell me what you know about Stigma ukes!

[Wildjoy]

Yesterday, Boofa posted a gorgeous Stigma uke for sale in the marketplace. This was the first I had heard of Stigma ukes. I went and checked out the website, and from what I can see there I'm impressed! (And I love the name and backstory behind it.) But, I'm not really finding much online by way of sound samples or reviews--but the one posted here for sale sold within 3 hours which I find super intriguing.

For those of you who have owned or played these, please LMK your opinions! Also, any links to sound samples or reviews would be very much appreciated.

I saw the Stigma uke @Boofa sold and then ran across the name again in a post from @scrambled_eggs in another thread. I ended up ordering a spruce/koa tenor that I'm looking forward to trying. The shipworm eaten top is definitely an oddity, but I like it. I think it's a good pairing for the Seaguar fishing leader I use to string my ukes, keeps that nautical theme going. I'll post my thoughts on it when it arrives.
