![]() ![]() Though, then again, it's not 'uber' cheap in itself either - and when I think of instruments you can get from Flight or Baton Rouge for similar money then. It's not trying to be a high end sound, and it's certainly way above some of the uber-cheap instruments I have looked at. I mean, it plays passably as a ukulele and 'works' even if it doesn't have great character to the tone. Now, that's reason enough that this is not a uke for me (sound always comes first), but that's not to say it's not the 'right thing' for others who may have a performance reason for a uke that looks like this. ![]() That's not written as a means to let this off the hook for the sound but I suspect the bigger picture is that it's probably the secondary point. This is clearly not meant to be a high end serious ukulele, it's a party ukulele or a ukulele for a showy performance - a bit of fun. Mirror finish it is not.īut with all those comments about tone, maybe I am missing something. To add to my complaint, the gloss over the top is not that smooth insofar as it is kind of rippled in places. I appreciate glitter application is always going to be random, but you at least need to make it even. Sadly, in places the application of the glitter is rather uneven and on this example there are very obvious bare patches showing on the top that really stand out. That glitter finish is (thankfully!) under a gloss coating so there is no rough feel or the chance of the glitter working it's way off onto your hands. As I say, they are not for me but I do think the shades they have chosen are quite nice and thankfully they didn't go full on neon colours. You get a choice of four glitter colours in the range, Ritzy Red, Pink Champagne, Rhapsody in Blue or this one, Stardust Gold. Decoration is obviously led by the glitter finish, but there is also the addition of cream edge binding around the top and back which I think works well with the glitter. ![]()
