Millar Ukuleles are Excellent! (Satin vs Gloss Mahogany)

[@MarcGallagherMusic]

They sound gorgeous!

[@jonathansadler4911]

Love the gloss. Projection is crystal clear.

[@chrisbirrane6071]

Always amazed at the acoustics of Miller ukes.

[@audreygiamlayhoon]

I so love that you and Matt love each other. The Millers are aesthetically appealing to me, the traditional look is attractive. The upward slanting Millar font on the headstock is like Pono too. But it feels more like a "homage" than a "copy". They also remind me of your Eastman ukulele, also simple and elegant; your Eastman sounded as if it had more sustain though...is it because of the choice of song ?

[@lesleyriseam1282]

I like the idea of an asthetically Frilly also works for me as a Yorkshire lass.

[@hayleytucker9127]

And now I’m back to wanting the Miller TM240 over the anuenue Africa. What a gorgeous sound! Need to sleep/think hard on this one! 🤔

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

Tough decision. You win both ways 😉

[@davidmolloy126]

Yes, got the same problem! I was definitely going for the Anuenue until I heard these. I think the Anuenue will win out though. X

[@TwixyNo]

I enjoy your vids. Thanks.

[@SmallUkeBigWorld]

4:03 Millar actually uses different strings for different wood combinations/ models to achieve the best sound possible.

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

This is written in all of the listings 👍

Great review Alex.. Thankyou !!

[@WorldofUkes]

Deserving of a badgering!

[@EZSongLessons]

Lovely ukuleles!

[@pedrosanchezpalma4443]

wowww, this Millar TM260GW is really amazing, I had almost decided the Anuenue AMM3 but now I have doubts. Which is deeper and warmer and more balance for fingerpicking and a bit of strumming? thanks!

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

The Millar is probably deeper. The AnueNue is very shiny and factory fresh compared to the Millar.

[@tjienlie]

I'm really interested in the soprano mahogany, how the Miller soprano sound compare to Kiwaya KTS-4 or KTS-5 ?

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

For me it's 95% as good as a KTS-4/KTS-5. The tuners on a Kiwaya are better and the Kiwaya is very slightly smaller and more delicate feeling... Considering how much cheaper the Millar is, it's outstanding.

[@tjienlie]

Agree, Gotoh UPT on Kiwaya is my favorite, Derjung planetary is not bad either, the metal plating/finish is not as good as Gotoh. I have ukes with Gotoh and Derjung. I really like that mainland mahogany sound, from vintage martin.

[@luciebergeron1743]

I really like Millar ukuleles. Is the only difference between the concert TM-240 and the TM-240WG is the ornamentation and the fact that the WG is glossy? Do you find there is a difference in their sound? Thanks a lot for your videos.

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

You are correct about the differences. Tonally, the glossed one is a bit brighter and more direct when you play it. The satin one is a little bit muddy by comparison which suits a gentle player.

[@luciebergeron1743]

@@SouthernUkuleleStore Thank you very much for the nuances you bring to the sound. It is really very interesting.

[@curlykoa6814]

Sounds great!

Best regards. Hope enjoy with music.

[@Teeum5]

Very interesting video and great sound examples. Just one question: how is this strum called you did on the soprano at the very end beginning with a thumb upstream? I want to look for a tutorial of this...

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

I don't know what it's called but Phil Doleman also does it a lot so check out his lessons online maybe 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Teeum5]

@@SouthernUkuleleStore Thanks for your answer!

[@wenbinzhou3747]

Millar is very good at making jumbo body tenor and long neck soprano.

[@anthonylinzalone3935]

Miller the way to go.

[@michaelhitzges4071]

How about a Millar pineapple?

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

Probably wouldn't taste very nice. Seriously though, great idea but not something I've seen evidence of them ever producing.

[@SmallUkeBigWorld]

@@SouthernUkuleleStore How about a pineapple SUS exclusive with Millar 🤔

Greetings fellow lefty!!

When I agree, I just say, I no right. lol

[@roddy99]

A Millar baritone would be very interesting.

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

They are in the prototype phase as of last week. Should have some by the summer.

[@roddy99]

@@SouthernUkuleleStore oh that would be amazing. Those recent mango specials you featured were stunning!

[@notyeti]

I was just going through the checkout, TM240... and someone beat me to it. Next time!

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

😲 sorry for you and surprised to hear that they all went so fast

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

Just thought I would let you know that one of the orders was cancelled and it is now back in stock on the website.
