Just home from attending the Welsh ukulele festival. I really don’t need another Uke but after being drawn in to looking at your range I bought a rosewood/spruce soprano. If anyone takes the time to read this review, well here we go. All solid wood, tone in upper and lower register clear e.g. deep and bright. Action, like your fingers are not having to press anywhere up the neck. Sustain, well it rings on. Overall finish, immaculate. I recently retired from work and as a gift for all my hard graft after 35 years bought an IZ Martin tenor Uke. This was a very expensive purchase but, you only live once. I have 4 other ukuleles in all the sizes but have to say the Noah stacks up well. To my way of thinking this brand will grow in popularity. As for price? Hand built, solid wood, fantastic spec. Need I say any more. GRAB ONE NOW and keep on strumming. All the best. Chris.

Love it!
I have been learning the ukulele for a short while now on a cheap little laminate someone gave me years ago, having played the guitar for many years. I decided it was time for a step up to something better and trawled through the internet. After reading countless reviews I settled on a Noah handmade ukulele and made contact with Matt who was extremely helpful. I choose a Rosewood Spruce Soprano which arrived earlier this week. It is a beautiful little uke with an amazing finish – it looks great, feels and sounds great and is a delight to play. I am delighted with my purchase and I love it. I would recommend Noah Ukuleles to anyone.
Many thanks
Andy

This is a terrific ukulele. I’ve owned it for a few months. It gets played daily. I’ve come back to the Noah site to leave a review and browse for a new uke.

I first noticed Noah having been blown away by the looks of one of their monkeypod instruments. Unfortunately none were available at the time and having swapped a few emails with the ever helpful and excellent Matt, I decided to try one of these. Not only do I not have any regrets, I feel very lucky to have acquired one of these wonderful ukuleles almost by accident. Stunning looks, excellent sound and playability, think of any quality you would want from a ukulele and this delivers it in bucket loads. As luck would have it, a monkeypod concert became available a short time later and now my Ukulele Acquisition Syndrome is cured. Way, way more than happy with both the instruments and I am now content to settle down and enjoy playing rather than wonder if there is a better instrument out there I would be happier with. Because there isn’t.
