Got A Ukulele Reviews - Snail SUT-M1 Tenor

[@wylancslass]

Lovely jubbly! I love that Baz. Think it looks and sounds really pretty. Thanks for another fab review. You have taught me so much about different brands and what's good, bad and ugly over the last 16 months I have been playing. I so appreciate this channel.Thanks again!

[@GotAUkulele]

Thanks Wendy!

[@susanh695]

Thanks for a nice review I have a laminate older Snail on layaway cannot wait to get it home 😊

[@GotAUkulele]

Enjoy it!

[@chuckvt5196]

What a nice uke for 165! Seriously, how can one go wrong? I think it sounds pretty darn good, Baz! Thanks for the review!

[@GotAUkulele]

I know, right?

[@CoYoTdeLiMa]

We need those Snail ukes here in Latinamerica. Really enjoyed your review, as always. You're a master of constancy.

[@GotAUkulele]

Thanks so much!

[@NicholasColdingDK]

I ordered this instrument from GB and it's finally on its way to me (Denmark). What kind of strings would you recommend on this?

[@GotAUkulele]

Sorry - I never give string recommendations - it's because we all hear sound differently, and our play styles differ too. So totally personal and subjective. What I like you might not!

[@danpugh9407]

Tru gut every time

[@brynenichols3144]

It’s a bit too bright, I wonder what it would sound like with different strings... haha I was typing it when you just said that! Maybe a low G? However, I do love the finish on that uke. Good review bud! 👍

[@GotAUkulele]

Thanks! Low G certainly, but I think even just a heavier gauge would do it. These are extremely light.

Looking to upgrade from my cheap mahalo uke and have been eyeing up snail ukes. I tried out the SUC-M1 at the southern ukulele store pre-lockdown and really liked the sound and feel. BUT I’m really not a fan of the logo. Would it be silly for that to be a dealbreaker for me? It’s a lot of money for me to spend on something I’m not completely in love with but i liked everything else..

[@GotAUkulele]

Details matter - but I'd always but tone and playablity over looks myself!

[@PalmdaleGal]

Mollusc - Cover the logo with something else! A nice sticker of something you like, such as your initials or a photo or a hibiscus, or whatever.

[@Ijcarter1962]

Great review! That is a very nice looking ukulele.

[@GotAUkulele]

Thank you kindly!

[@hieple2587]

Thank you for this review, can you do a review on the new Enya EUT Feather?

[@GotAUkulele]

Will try and get hold of one

[@danmisson]

Just found your channel after only owning a cheap (£55) ukulele for a week and now I want to upgrade. Whats the big difference between a concert and a tenor as I know snail do this in both?

[@GotAUkulele]

Tenor - longer scale length so different feel to the strings. Usually larger body which makes for more resonant, fuller tone. Though... not always - I've played some concerts with bigger voices than some tenors! Tuned the same though

[@danmisson]

@@GotAUkulele thanks so much for getting back to me. Appreciate it. 😊👍 Have you reviewed the Uma MOON-ST Solid Mahogany tenor ukulele?

[@GotAUkulele]

@@danmisson I haven't i'm afraid. Nice brand though. If you are buying in the UK, they should have all gone through the UK distributor Stones Music - about the best checks and setup you can imagine from that guy.

[@danmisson]

@@GotAUkulele ah no worries at all. Been enjoying your other reviews. Think I'm going to get the Uma moon st tenor from world of ukes 😊♥️

[@GotAUkulele]

@@danmisson VERY good store - Matt will not let you down there.

[@suer1562]

Got one of these, and agree with your comments. But I think it’s rivalled by the Enya EUT-MAD solid wood tenor - I think you’d enjoy reviewing that one! Even cheaper than this one (on naughty Amazon but SUS are selling the blue one), a deeper tone and the black-stained mahogany (actually chocolate) is delicious! Also it has a radiused neck .... cheers for this review though, it is indeed a nice uke.

[@GotAUkulele]

Reviewed the EUT-M6 - didn't quite get this score, but I like Enya's. Jury always out with me on radius necks. They are nice enough, and essential for me on a guitar - but.. When you consider that Kamaka - the brands that IS ukulele never used a radius.. Well.. Just don't find them all that essential. Here's the M6 www.gotaukulele.com/2018/12/enya-eut-m6-tenor-ukulele-review.html

[@garyniblock8864]

My very first uke was a used Snail concert for $90 (USD). It's still in my growing uke collection, no need to sell it, it still sounds and looks great and when I want to play a concert instead of my tenors it's there for me. A good brand and another good review. Thanks Baz.

[@GotAUkulele]

Thanks Gary!

[@ianchadderton5294]

Yes, looks neat and sounds good. Nice price too. Thanks for another good review.

[@GotAUkulele]

My pleasure as always Ian!

[@berinruii]

awesome review! would love to see a review on the kala KA-CEM or possibly on some of kala’s bamboo ukuleles

[@GotAUkulele]

Hopefully the Bamboo is coming soon!

[@gethinap]

Nice to see the Purple Flea in the background

[@GotAUkulele]

Yep - that one is always out and easy to grab!

[@owentuckett938]

I don't know if you're still monitoring this post. I bought one of these ukuleles as my first, and I was intrigued to hear you say that you'd put heavier strings on it. Which ones and why? Your reviews (and web site) are excellent, thank you.

[@GotAUkulele]

I monitor all posts all the time ( I get emailed). From memory - the strings on this were very bright and thin sounding - that was the reason. Thing about strings though is that sound of them is totally subjective - for that reason I never give string recommendations as it would be pointless. I'd suggest getting a few other brands and testing. It may be you like the ones on it more - but that is cool. Sound elements of my reviews are totally personal.

[@owentuckett938]

@@GotAUkulele Thanks for getting back so quickly. I shall experiment. Cheers.

Another great review! Thanks!

My pleasure Steve!

Greet review 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks! 👍

[@Charles49261]

Is the top made of solid wood? Thank you

[@GotAUkulele]

No - the body is all laminate.

[@Charles49261]

@@GotAUkulele I also asked Snail directly and they told me the top is solid wood!

[@GotAUkulele]

@@Charles49261 It's absolutely not!

[@GotAUkulele]

@@Charles49261 The M3 series is solid wood I think. The M1 is laminate. The M3 is 60-70% more expensive!

[@Charles49261]

@@GotAUkulele Sorry I was referring to the SUT-M2 model. Does the Sut-M2 model have a solid wood top? I thought the SUT-M2 model was like the SUT-M1 model but with the preamplifier. Still sorry

[@NicolasFingerstyleUkulele]

Great Review Barry! In Spain Snail ukes are available at Ukeshop Barcelona online store 😉. Snail ukes have a very unique and rich sound in their price range.

[@GotAUkulele]

Yeah - I like them!

[@NicholasColdingDK]

I want one :) But they are not easy to find in the Tenor size here in Denmark.

[@GotAUkulele]

I believe the UK uke shops SUS and World of Ukes will ship to Europe.

[@NicholasColdingDK]

@@GotAUkulele Just ordered one from the UK :)

[@gneveln]

Thank you for your review. My Snail cedar/ebony tenor is one of my favorites. I also have a mahogany concert. Wonderful instruments!

[@GotAUkulele]

You're very welcome!

[@denisenadeau5243]

thanks Barry for mentioning the nut size and the lighter strings. It helps a beginner make some decisions.

[@GotAUkulele]

My pleasure!
