    Most of us could hear the quality sound of Kanile'a, and at least I got half right in one try. #2 was a surprise, so was #5 for me, too bad they're the wrong shape.

    Mike, I think this makes a good point about the sound of a ukulele being the most important part, but since you played them all...which was the most "playable" to your way of thinking. By the way, I thought they all sounded very good, and I didn't hear much difference in the high and low end ukes, which did surprise me! Have we been following the wrong UAS path?!?

    It's ouuurs, precious...It's our ukeses and we wants it, we needs it, we MUST haveses it! They might buyses it firsts, our ukeses in filthy, dirrty handses!
