It looks like a piece of art. A style that will be quite enduring. Beautifully made and good sounding. I could treasure that as my one and only ukulele. Thanks again for a thorough and complimentary review.
Agreed - pure Italian style! Thanks!
Just when you think you don’t need another ukulele, they pull you back in… ❤
Ha ha - imagine my plight!! I've been looking in the cobwebs in my bank account to see if i can justify this!
Oh boy, that is a sick nice ukulele right there! It looks as smooth as silk and one of the prettiest I have ever seen probably. Very very cool, loved it!
Glad you like it!
Great review Baz - thank you. Always look forward to them. What a beautiful instrument and indeed piece of art. Marco is a genius and a very charming, self effacing genius too. Best wishes.
THanks Lisa!
I should say also I've had business dealings with Marco and he really is a pleasure to deal with - such a lovely man.
@@lisacompton593 He is - I love the discussions we have leading up to one of his reviews - very nice guy
What a fantastic instrument. Each note is crystal clear. Thanks very much Barry
You're very welcome!
This has to be one of the very best ukes ever reviewed on your channel. I'll admit it makes me want to look beyond mahogany as well :-)
Marco really followed Galileo's tradition of clever curiosity with this one. Clean looks and tone. Pear wood, who knew?
Indeed!
I really enjoyed this review, as I always do. Thanks for doing it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Watching so many of your reviews, your excitement is palpable when you review innovative ukes! The passion shows!
Glad you like them!
I wasn't expecting that to come in under 1200 Euro. It is a bit bright for me but clearly remarkable and unique.
I have to stop watching your videos. They make my UAS go crazy. What an astonishing good uke.
Great review Baz! What an Awesome Ukulele!!! I’d love one!
Me too!
I want to update my comment below. I waited for about a year for my Galileo. Marco was so wonderful to deal with, and I think he may be the nicest person on earth. The instrument came from Italy to Santa Fe, New Mexico, which is basically a desert, Marco recommended that I have an oak fretboard due to humidity issues. This ukulele was made by a perfectionist, and I just love it. Importation was no problem. In April 2024, when it was shipped, I paid about $60 in import fees . Of course, I keep it and all of our instruments humidified in our music room. Now to the sound and playability.… It is absolutely amazing. My neighbor is a guitar tech who travels with rock bands around the world. He played this Galileo and just loved it.
Great to hear - and yes - Marco is SUCH a nice chap!
Thank you for another great review Baz! A bit too bright for me. I'd really like to hear the Cherry version!!!!
Very nice uke. Love the scientific approach to the build. That's interesting about the sides and how they affect the final sound. Really enjoyed this review 👍
Many thanks!
I have to say that I enjoy your reviews of these high-end instruments, although I have no chance of ever owning one. It’s just fun to get to see and hear this beautiful thing in your video. Thanks for sharing this one - it’s a treat!
My pleasure Kathleen - i'd like to think Marco's instruments are more in reach than most! He's well worth saving for and I am considering doing so myself!
You make an excellent point. I will have to think on it. I agree that for what it is, it’s a more than reasonable price. I expected it to be a lot more.
Thanks Baz, great review and a Luthier I haven’t come across. Love the sleek modern look straight away. The fact that so much research has gone into making this instrument is credit to Marco. The sound has made me play the review twice, thanks for taking us through this, totally fascinating. The harmonisation of each string, yet so chimney is quite lovely. Another great find.👌👌👌 Have a great week.
He's a wizard!
What a lovely instrument!
Wow I really like this one. The style and the build is innovative and a success. I like the volume and brightness. Of course I love sopranos so I really like the sound. Great review on a really great instrument. ….thanks ….DOC
Glad you like it!
WOW! I love the way this instrument looks. The sides are so beautiful. Such a pretty sound too. I just LOVE this! 😍💗
I honestly thought you were going to say it was a number in the thousands, not hundreds. That's amazing!
Is it possible to make this model in other sizes, or would something be lost in the smaller scale?
I guess we never know on other scales, but this is a brand new development he is testing water with - it wasn't even supposed to be a production model
That is an awesome uke! It looks well made and sounds great. Great review!
Thank you kindly!
What a beauty!!
Love it, great tone!
Thanks for listening!
This looks and sounds lovely. The way you presented it was really cute. If weren't married already, I think you'd marry this ukulele. Rarely seen you so happy in a review 🙂
Thanks so much! 😊
Yet another Marco instrument that I'd love to own. Superb! I really must save up!
You should!
Wow. After much research, but finally based on this review, I just ordered the chestnut Galileo. Shipping will be expensive to New Mexico, USA, and who knows about the import taxes. I don’t care I want it. And I’m willing to wait 11 months for production. Superb review. Thanks so much, sir!
Enjoy!!
At times there is a hint of mandolin in the tone of this one.
yep - shimmery and zingy. Bit of a work of genius I think. Feels alive when you play it.
C'mon, admit it: you want to buy that one. I sure do. Looks and sounds like a premium uke, cool design, and the string-height trick really works!
I DO!! Just skint - now in box awaiting shipping back to Marco!
@@GotAUkulele [emoji face with tears]
Wow, I really like that design and I really have took to slim ukulele as well and that has to be the best one I ever seen, it for me is well worth the money I would have no problem paying that
Glad you like it!
Firstly I’m so glad this review popped up Baz it was a welcome relief to the Leeds v United match and secondly that is one beautiful Ukulele 👌
Ha ha - thanks!
I expected you to say it cost double. Awesome instrument!!
You and me both!
I definitely can see someone entering the uke gathering, opening their case taking it out and having the room grow silent.
I hope Marco is independently wealthy because this instrument could go a lot higher then the price he’s asking for it ! But thank you Marco for making an instrument of this quality that isn’t out of reach for us to own !
I think he is just fair with his pricing and doing it for the craft rather than to make himself rich! I know a few craftsmen who work the same way
Lovely instrument. I have to say, looking at your previous macro images and even in the video, I thought it was oak. Great resonant sound though.
You are not the only person to guess at oak!
I don't want to own one but I badly want to play it. That's quite the instrument.
A note on thin line and volume: I have found in my limited experience that volume is mostly a function of thinness+resonance of the top and back. Thin line body seems mostly to mute the projection to my ear.
That's precisely why he made it the way he did - take the sides and thin body out of the equation - just turn the top into a drum. it worked!
Ciao Marco ✌🏻
I think 'Marco‘s Italian sandwich' or even shorter 'Italy🇮🇹sandwich' would‘ve been a cool name!
Anyhow, congratulazioni 🏅 once again to yet another unique build. Ho una domanda: as far as a strap button - where would be the sweet spot to put it I wonder. The missing logo is a bolt statement that is a logical consequence considering the overall understatement of this instrument.
BAZ: I read thru the whole review! Great work! Must be quite time consuming to sit and type the whole thing!
Thanks pal!
👍 What a stunner! Thanks Baz.
Hypothetically, if you had a milestone birthday coming up and you wanted to treat yourself, would you choose this uke or a Ken Timms? Bearing in mind that you can guarantee getting one of these too. 🤓
My pleasure - impossible to pick between those two - on a par, but very different scales
@@GotAUkulele Thank you, but dang it, you've not helped with my decision-making process! 🤣 Can you help me pick some winning lotto numbers? That would solve the dilemma quite nicely. 🤞
I am attracted to the modern look and approach. The same thing that would interest me in a pineapple shape.
I adore the shape!
I like the crispy sound of it. But then comes the bomb: £ 720? Outch!
However, Thanks for a lovely review ❤
I think it's cheap considering the work that's gone in. Even if it took ten hours (and I suspect more like twice that) that would be €72 an hour. You can't get a plumber for that in the UK. And that also removes the cost of materials, workshop, lighting, power, tools etc.
(just spoke to a UK luthier who makes far more traditional instruments than this. Suggested 20 hours. That's €36 per hour before materials and costs..... that's a pittance)
@@GotAUkulele Nothing can be compared to plumbers. The best payed work in the whole world...
@@marieandersson6655 What I mean is - compare it to ANY trade - he is charging €35 per hour before materials, tools and power. It's a bargain.
Love the little touches on this one. Don't love the price though. Should be a hair cheaper IMHO. I do love the unique sound though... Might make it worth it! I see they have a spruce top option too, which I'd be tempted to try but that Chestnut tone is 😍
Assuming 20 hours work - about €35 per hour before tax, materials, tools, knowledge, power, rent, advertising etc. How much lower do you want someone to work for?
You'd pay at least twice per hour for a mechanic to fix an engine - why so?
@@GotAUkulele based on what was shown, I'd think $399 USD to $499, maybe $550 tops. I also tend to think a mechanic is a rip off, but I understand your point. I do love the tone and you can't really put a price on that 😉
@@intoitreviews you think Marco should work for $20 an hour?
I didn't think that bridge could hold forever, but it being a string through, makes the smaller gluing surface not an issue. it's a cool looking ukulele.
I can't think why it wouldn't hold - Marco doesn't build shoddy instruments and will have fixed this carefully. Plus, i've seen smaller bridges
@@GotAUkulele It looks amazing, I didn't intend to be negative, I'm only an amature builder, but have re glued a few bridges on different kinds of guitars and ukulele's, and replaced some bridge plates. Never on a string through though. they must never have such a problem.
Very nice thanks for the review Baz..!!! **( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡° )**
My pleasure!
Wow- the shape of the headstock and the body really aren’t my thing- which is a shame (for what it’s worth) as I’m sure the instrument really is everything you say. Ah well- horses for courses 🐴
Thanks for the review though 👌
I like it for how different it is
