Malcolm Chisholm –
Your 8-string tenor uke arrived this morning, and it’s simply wonderful!
I have always appreciated craftsman-made things and your 8-string tenor lives up to my expectations in every respect. It is superbly made, well-finished with excellent attention to detail. Even little things like the ends of the frets being gently chamfered to give it a smooth feel as my left hand moves along the neck. The wood grain is brought out by a high-gloss finish and the cream-coloured edge binding is enhanced by a black-white-black decoration, which finishes it off beautifully. The sound hole rosette in mother-of-pearl glows in the sun.
The sound is bright, full and responds well to different types of strumming; a pleasure to play and to hear.
All-in-all this is a lovely instrument which I expect will give me years of pleasure!”
