My ukulele arrived today, and it’s more beautiful than I expected. I had thought the ropework was a solid color, but it actually looks like thin layers of wood sandwiched together.
The gloss finish is beautiful! I can’t find any imperfections in it. And Mike at Mainland Ukes set it up perfectly for me. The intonation is perfect.
I’m thrilled. But I have a LOT of work ahead of me to make it sing like the guy playing Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head in my previous post! 🙂

May you two have a beautiful and musical life together!!!!

/ May 7, 2011That really is a beauty!!!! Totally jealous. I wasn’t a fan of the roping design when I first saw them but it’s certainly growing on me. It’s very country, haha! The Mainland is definitely on my shortlist for the uke I am going to buy (or invest in as I tell the missus) next!

/ May 7, 2011The roping design looks a lot better in person than it does in most pictures I’ve seen of it. It IS a little country looking, but I like the visual interest it adds.
