Hey Baz. Nice review for a really nice guy who makes stupendous instruments. Have been communicating with him for the last year, covering his 're-tooling' , becoming a husband (!), and surviving the Italy co-vid lockdown. Now that he's back, and able to get to his shop, it's obvious he's still making great instruments. I KNEW he was worth following when I saw the leader of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain playing one of his uke's. I'm waiting for mine.... delivery -hopefully- in August.

Your exuberant review deserves 10/10 Barry! Being a soprano fan this is a wonderful eccentric design but yet a serious instrument at an honest price. That's a rare achievement.

Thanks for the review. What a nice little soprano. Very unusual and innovative. The best thing about the review is that you can't hide how much you love it. Ukelele is all about how it makes a player feel when they pick it up. Keep up the good work!

Thanks once again for introducing us to another really novel uke. The shape really grows on you and it sounds great. Thanks also for making me aware of Noah ukuleles, I bought a Campanella this week, I ripped off the Aquila strings, which I have grown to dislike, put on a set of Worth and wow what a lovely sweet sound. Cheers.

Hello, I'm curious to know if a Ukulele you've reviewed ever got a 10/10. 9.4 for this one, but you raved about it. 9.4 isn't bad, obviously, but it made me wonder if anything ever got a 10/10. If so, what was it?

No - not yet! 9.4 is one of the highest i've given though - the scores need readiing in context to other reviews
