Great review, Baz! It is just unbelievable what 109 can get you these days. A few short years ago, that amount of money would have gotten you a total piece of rubbish. Great times to be buying a starter ukulele!
Nice David Lynch tribute there, Baz. And regarding this instrument, i like the understated looks. It hits the twin peaks of quality build and nice sound, which makes for a great value uke.
My first uke was an all laminate Kala concert...same price, this uke is miles better. A lot of really good ukes these days in that 150ish and under area. Way to pluck out another good one Mr. Keep up the good work.
Uma make very good ukes for the price. Recall going to a local music store to look at the Epiphone Hummingbird Uke, there was a cheaper Uma next to it. The Uma was miles better in every way - very impressed - it was a combination of the epi not being great and the Uma being really very good.
I like that - lovely. I worry sometimes that too much bling detracts from the playability of the instrument (I've not played enough to have any option on that though!) Thanks for the review.
Nice basic ukulele. You can concentrate on playing it. Pleasant tone and smooth frets. How does it compare with the solid top enya concert do you think? Euc25d.
@ Strangely enough, I'd considered saying it 'seemed' (rather than 'was') obvious you'd worn it specially, but thought what are the chances of that coincidence (higher than I thought!), and think you're saying it was still an intentional tribute for the video?
Amazing value. Guilt-free gift or starter ukulele.
Absolutely

Absolutely Chuck - things have improved for buyers quite a bit these days!
I recently bought a UMA UK-20ST Tenor. I absolutely love it. I would certainly recommend the UMA brand to anyone
Yes - they are excellent for the money
Thanks for the review. Another starter diamond find, or a second travel about uke. Have a great week.
Thanks for watching!

Thanks 👍
Thanks!
Thanks Bonnie as always!

Very fair review... a very balanced sound. I am tempted but who needs four ukuleles?
Danke!
Thanks so much!
Yet another great review. I rather like the simplicity of the instrument. Happy New Year, sir!
Thank you!

Thank you!
Hiiltop, my experience is the same as yours, and that old laminate is still a favorite, but this is an amazing value.
Great review as always. Thank you.
Very welcome!
I like the looks of this one. That sheen is pretty sweet.
Does have a shimmer!

Doesn't surprise me! Epi ukes tend to be heavily over built and over finished
Nice. Brilliant review
Thank you kindly!
I wasn’t thrilled about the looks. I like a darker mahogany look also. But I was surprised with how much I liked the sound Good review
I totally agree!
Good review and always enjoy watching an award winning show not that you need to be validated but nice well received 🏝️💪
Thank you kindly!
I don’t mind a plain-looking uke if it sounds nice ❤ Thanks for your review!
You’re welcome 😊

Thanks Hazel!
Looks like a great starter instrument
Yes absolutely!

Similar - from memory this is punchier - the finish is extremely think on this one
Noting the David Lynch T-shirt! :-)
That news hit me hard this week.. My favourite director.
It was obvious you'd worn it specially!
@@petestack Have a few Lynch themed shirts. I was wearing one on the day he died and only saw the news break when I got home from work. Devastated.

@@petestack Yes intentional - there's an RIP note at the end of the video too - this being the first video I made since the news.
I think it needs more laser etching😂No, I'm not serious. Seems like a home run in the value category👍👍
heh heh - yes!
Sounds nice. Engineered wood is less susceptible to humidity swings, so maybe fewer worries about fret sprout. Like you . . . lose that logo.
True - good point
