Great for travel and practise.

I bought this purely for travel. It fits into my backpack and has been on a flight from London to Miami - just what I was looking for. The criticisms you can read online about the tuning are true, but a bit of PTFE spray on the round metal bar that the strings roll around helps tremendously and the problem is gone. I would have preferred the jack output to be on the end of the body rather than the bottom, but it's no big deal. It took me a while to get used to the neck shape (the profile is a little square) however I soon got used to it; indeed with my arthritic thumb it made playing easier! The build quality is excellent, and a swap to Worth brown strings brought out a little more tone. Obviously the acoustic tone is dead and very quiet, but plugged in it sounds great. I often use a Traveler headphone amp. Just a final slightly unrelated thought; this was my first concert uke (I normally play tenor). I found that playing up the neck the fret spacing was too narrow for me. I've swapped now to the tenor model - perfect! (and it still fits in my back pack - just.)

Ce uke est original et ingénieux. Sa qualité de fabrication est très bonne, le bois est magnifique et la finition est excellente.
Je n'ai cependant pas su m'y adapter. L'absence de tête a été dans mon cas pénible, j'ai eu des difficultés à tenir correctement le manche en plaquant certains accords, le E7 par exemple. En outre le manche est assez étroit, ce qui me gêne pour plaquer un D entre autre.
La façon dont les cordes tournent autour d'un axe avant de rejoindre les mécaniques complique l'accordage car les réglages précis ne sont pas répercutés directement. Comme en plus les mécaniques ne possèdent pas de système de démultiplicateur avec engrenage et sont donc très exigeantes (et peuvent tourner à l'envers si la vis n'est pas fort serrée) il est vraiment fastidieux d'accorder l'instrument.
Personnellement il m'arrivais de le jouer très légèrement désaccordé pour ne pas y passer 10 minutes.
Enfin le prix est assez élevé au vu de la simplicité de fabrication. Il peut donc être un excellent instrument pour le joueur expérimenté qui l'achète en connaissant ses limites, pour les autres je ne le recommande pas.
Personnellement j'ai revendu le mien.

A fabulous instrument.
Anonymous 12.02.2015
Amazing sound (I put it through a Roland Micro Cube GX) and great quality. This is all I hoped it would be and will carried with me everywhere. The only extra I could suggest is a volume control to save having to return to the amp but that's a minor thing. I will have to build a flight case for this as it will never leave my side - perhaps Risa or someone else should make one. My first purchase from Thomann and definitely not my last.

I live while traveling the world. It is good to be portable and not bother people around you with the volume.
