Got A Ukulele Reviews - LoPrinzi Long Neck Soprano

[@tommorrisey3999]

I live only 45 minutes east of Donna’s studio here in Florida. Tell her what you’re dreaming of, and she’ll build it for you.

[@nickiemcnichols5397]

I’m about five miles away. But I’ve been waiting for 14 months for my build. I think itlll be worth it.

[@tommorrisey3999]

@@nickiemcnichols5397Hey, Nickie! Need to come to TBUS and see y’all soon!

[@GotAUkulele]

She's clearly a fine builder!

[@daveflatters4981]

I’m not convinced that it would look better bookmatched with such bold grain. It looks and sounds beautiful. We’re going to have to have words with whoever keeps signing off these holidays 😂😂😂

[@GotAUkulele]

I'm in slightly two minds myself on that. My view keeps changing!

[@jimb1138]

Yeah, I love the uneven looks. Beautifully imperfect, maybe? But imperfect isn't the right word, it's great.

[@kimberlygreiner3535]

Oh man I love this! I bought the Millar Long neck soprano you reviewed and I adore it.

[@GotAUkulele]

those Millar ukes are great too!

[@dhenderson195961]

Beautiful uke, love the t shirt by the way 😊

[@GotAUkulele]

It is - and thanks David - not long to go with them now!

[@sebastiengirard5746]

Soooo lovely!! Thanks for your rigorous work!

[@GotAUkulele]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@SURFNRZ]

Glad to see you reviewing LoPrinzis! I own 3, absolutely love them! Donna is absolutely amazing! Fantastic review!!!

[@GotAUkulele]

Don't see that many over here - agreed - this is just lovely!

[@andydaniels6433]

Gorgeous sound, love the look, great review Baz.

[@GotAUkulele]

Thank you kindly

[@joephillips4082]

Wow, this one really stands out. Wide nut, concert scale, that's my kind of soprano. And I would say fully, but not over priced. Regarding bookmatching, flame/quilted maple, figured mahogany, yes, bookmatch absolutely. But this grain with this figuring and coloring looks great to me, as is. Bookmatching that streaking pattern would seem almost too uniform compared to the natural look it has now. A great review. One of your best and on an amazing uke. Yes, I'm rambling too.

[@GotAUkulele]

Thanks Joe!

[@jtelevenoyd1571]

I am in love, perhaps literally, with my bespoke LoPrinzi Concert. I have nothing negative to say about it, and if I laid out all the positives here it would probably look like unseemly gushing. It isn't my most expensive uke, but it's indisputably my best one. I _have_ to mention that the price was well in line with the lower end of some very big-name factory and workshop instruments. I don't know how she does it, and I plan on going back to her for a baritone before long.

[@GotAUkulele]

Sounds great!

[@theoldkid5725]

The tone is beautifully balanced and substantial,must be a pleasure to make music with this...a keeper!

[@GotAUkulele]

Totally agree - bigger sound than the small body would suggest!

[@mikek4708]

Lovely Uke, price is a real bonus. Thanks for another first and another enjoyable review. Have a great week.

[@GotAUkulele]

Thanks, you too!

[@rollordont]

Normally, bookmatching is expected, but that top is art!

[@GotAUkulele]

I remain in two minds!

[@marieandersson6655]

I love your reviews, and I love long neck sopranos. This one will suit just fine in my collection. Thanks for the review ❤

[@GotAUkulele]

My pleasure!

[@dieabm]

Danke!

[@GotAUkulele]

Thanks so much!

[@lsclair]

I actually have one similar that has the brand "Sailor" which is made as a store brand for Uke Republic. Mine is Black Limba back and sides and Cedar top. It is also a soprano with concert neck. One of my favorites. Plays and sounds beautiful.

[@GotAUkulele]

Heard good things about those too

[@MariUSukulele]

BRAVO 👏🏻 awesome work Ms LoPrinzi

[@GotAUkulele]

Agreed!

[@zornjohn2241]

I own two the very smallest, bambini (sopranini) cedar top RW B&S and the very largest, a baritone custom 5 string (high and low paired g strings) with cedar top and cherry B&S. They are both glorious

[@GotAUkulele]

Nice!

[@martifingers]

The tone sounds to me like a "wash" of notes in a really good way. Very balanced, sweet. I would especially like to hear this duetting with a different instrument. I have a feeling it could be delightful. Wait ! Here's an idea , Baz. A video or two on how to match different ukes for duets and maybe larger ensembles? (As if you did not have enough to do!)

[@martystar4123]

Lovely sounding very pretty looking, not usually a big fan of the soprano size and sound but I like this one especially with wide neck.

[@GotAUkulele]

Yes, think this are great crossover dimensions for the fans of larger ukes.

[@RickHenderson58]

A beauty to look at and listen to. I love the tone!

[@GotAUkulele]

Yep, it's a nice one this!

[@AHNC-Hat]

First-timer, here. D*mn fine review! If I get my UAS going full steam, Donna will be hearing from me.

[@GotAUkulele]

Thank you!

[@nkogbksb]

Beautiful instrument. I prefer it non-bookmatched, myself. Sorta wabi sabi touch! Very fair pricing all around for a custom luthier in the USA--I may eventually get in touch for a baritone, but for that I may need to save a bit more.

[@GotAUkulele]

Yeah - can see that argument - and like that description!

[@nmd1211]

Just by chance I went to our local ukulele shop about 30 miles away. I needed to verify what kind of strings my soprano had, and I wanted to try out a pineapple shape to see if I liked it. Well, it is sort of like trying on shoes - so many choices to play with while in the store - different tone woods - and I found a few I liked. And tried a tenor - I don't have one - and not even thinking about the brand, I fell in love. Lo and behold - a LoPrinzi koa tenor, probably class A though it has MOP circling the sound hole. I am now the proud owner of a very beautiful tenor, at a reasonable price, a beautiful sound with beautiful wood. How lucky I am! Thanks for your reviews, Matt, and have a great time celebrating your birthday.

[@GotAUkulele]

Sounds nice! (By the way, who is Matt?)

Very pretty. Thanks Barry

[@GotAUkulele]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@drpkmurphy]

I like the grain and looks of this one. Binding is nice as well. I love the soprano and this one looks great. 38 mill is ok but I do like the standard being 35mill. I don’t really like the long neck on a soprano but it is ok. Love the pegs and headstock. The price is a little high but yes it is hand made. As per the sound it is rhythmic as you say. I really like the sound. I prefer the strumming but it all really good…. Great instrument…. Thanks Boz…. DOC

[@GotAUkulele]

Thanks!

[@raymondstebbins5904]

Nice ukulele very fair price sounds great side note like the tshirt🏝️💪

[@GotAUkulele]

Thanks Raymond!

[@threeleafshamrock]

Soprano body, wide nut, brilliant sound ... I'm sold! I actually like the look and tbh, if it was one piece rather than two, it wouldn't be bookmatched either 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks as ever Baz, enjoyed this a lot. Stay safe mate! 👍🏼

[@GotAUkulele]

I like the look too - and didn't mean to make to much of the book matching thing - it's still a stunner

[@JonHancockUK]

I think those pegs may well be 6s, not 2s. I have both here and the 2s have a very different metal part, lacking that sort of "jelly mould" double ring. The 6s I have look much closer.

[@GotAUkulele]

Could be - you may be right.

[@StevenDoyleLuke]

The wife loves long neck sopranos, we own couple . . . this one is a little pricey for me, I know hand built etc . . . .

[@kimberlygreiner3535]

I love them too!

[@TheIronDuke9]

I'm not an expert but as I understand it isn't the size category of a ukulele determined by the scale length, so wouldn't it be more accurate to describe this as a small body concert rather than a long neck soprano? Then again it could all just be semantics but I bought a long neck tenor with a 19 inch scale length and came to realize that I enjoy playing it more if I think of it as a small body baritone. As a novice it can all be a little confusing when the sizes "hybrid" - does this instrument get strung with soprano length strings or concert?

[@GotAUkulele]

Yes, it would indeed

[@nickiemcnichols5397]

It would take either soprano or concert length strings, I think..depends on the brand.

[@GotAUkulele]

@@nickiemcnichols5397 Usually one and the same in most packs I find.

[@emm_arr]

It's pretty. I rather like the tone too.

[@GotAUkulele]

Great sounding uke for sure!

[@saulchapnick1566]

Again nice review. As someone who sold timbre for over twenty years, book matching is not for everything. This timbre has a uniqueness and wildness to it. Let it flow on both sides. That’s what gives it its beauty. Great tee shirt. I think you spelled ‘Tory’ incorrectly. It’s spelled T-R-U~M-P. Oops, I forgot, no politics when discussing ukes.

[@GotAUkulele]

Well said!

[@JulieBrown-e9y]

Sopranos are not my thing but this is definitely a nice one.

[@mariemcdonald6488]

[@danielbohland5271]

I guess I'm just curious in this video you said and luthier 500 to 1400 was fine yeah you said Bonanza millennium which is I believe 699 you said you thought that was a little high but you said it was handmade I just think the bonanzas are beautifully made and I think he's really reasonable compared to this one that's just my opinion and as they say opinions vary from person to person on whatever subject you can come up with that's what makes everybody different

[@GotAUkulele]

No...., what I was actually saying about that Bonanza was making a comment about how the price compared to HIS OWN OTHER instruments, not the market in general. I said I could see where the money had gone, but just wanted to understand why the price hike. Different point.
