Amazing playing- and sounding instruments, he makes. Markus is a great builder that deserves recognition. I'm very happy to see one of his instruments reviewed on your channel. 🥳
I absolutely love it! I make cigarbox guitars I wouldn’t even know where to start with something as delicate and gorgeous as that!! And you’re right that neck and those sides blow me away too amazing!!!🎉❤😊
599? Seriously? I honestly was thinking 2000 at least. That is a steal at that price! What a beautiful ukulele. He is truly an amazing luthier. Thanks, Baz!
Yeah, your preview pictures gave me an inkling that it was a luthier-build, but I guessed a different luthier. And that zero-fret and slot spacing method is genius. And the sound is lovely.
I love to see you so excited while doing a review on an amazing ukulele. When people on Facebook ukulele groups ask about what ukulele to get I always steer them to your UA-cam channel.
That luthier is seriously undervaluing himself. What a magnificent instrument. Of course, you just know that everyone who spots the leaf inside will assume it's marijuana.
Your prounanciation of Brogärde was actually better than expected from an Englishman 😉 Thanks for a nice review! I like the sound of this uke, but maybe a little too big for my personal taste (I love sopranos).
What a Very Pretty Ukulele he definitely should be proud of his craftsmanship that's for darn sure . Always enjoy your reviews and you're playing excellent thank you kindly Dan Bohland Wisconsin USA
Thanks Baz, this is why I love watching your channel. When something comes in from. Luthier that I have never heard of. The sheer Luthiery skill in its construction makes the instrument so, so aesthetically pleasing and then you mentioned the price. Love all the little appointments, one word that sums it up for me is “Classy”. Thinke we may see more from this Master Luthier. Thanks and have a great week.
That sure is an amazing uke. I've never seen anything like it and the sound is amazing. I love the innovation with the construction of the body and nut. If only my ukulele fund was unlimited!
Very nice.. I’d describe it as an upturned wine glass with the base missing instead of a teardrop but that says too much about my thinking Baz 😉 Great video 👍
Love it when you play a Uke that you like. The facial expressions make me chuckle. Very good playing as always. Such a beautiful instrument. By the way I spent some time at RAF Burtonwood and RAF Alconbury in the mid 1960’s and loved it.
This is so beautiful. It sounds amazing. I could feel your emotion throughout your review! Got me a little moved when I was listening to your finger-picking sound sample.
What's not to love? I always say, that if i win the lottery, I'll buy a top end 'K' brand uke... I've changed my mind, I'd buy this beauty. I could spend as much time looking at it, as playing it. And as for the price, wow, incredible! 😮😮 Thanks as ever for the review Baz, this one was a bit special. Stay well mate and happy 14th birthday. Here's to the next 14 🍻 👍
Wow! What a gorgeous instrument and a terrific review! Any hints on how to reach Markus if we are interested in waiting in line for one of his ukuleles? And Happy Anniversary to you. Thank you for your educational (and entertaining) reviews.
Wow! The sound really doesn't disappoint. Really like it - what a price! And the looks! Just classy! Love it! Oddly I was wondering what the highest scoring instrument was on GaU while I was reading the review. Fabulous!
Thanks Barry! I wish I had funds to look into this! It's great watching you have so much fun! It really is stunning, and all my relatives are Swedish, so my bells started ringing when I saw this review. All I found for a website was Facebook, written in Swedish. Do you know how people communicate with him? Thanks again for everything, and congrats on the 14 years! 16:27
Totally agree with the other reviews and your assessment Baz. Beautiful uke and definitely a steal at that price. BTW Baz, your shirt is interesting and also that's my name!
Thanks! - Shirt is the Band T Shirt from a tour when they played an album of this name - The Wedding Present - Bizarro! A band I have probably seen play live more than any other!
What a stunning instrument. Will consider getting one, being from and living close to Stockholm it would be fun to have a uke from around here as well.
Quite apart from the amazing sound, this is a design masterpiece! It makes me think of the best in Mid-century Modern furniture. Is it as tactile as it looks? The finish is mouthwatering.
I think this became my new favorite ukulele that I've seen you review. Quite the beautiful instrument. Too bad my playing skills would make it sound like a $5 toy.
I wasn’t a fan of boat paddle Ukes 20 minutes ago. It looks great and sounds better. I was literally just thinking the sound seemed a bit clipped when your on screen text popped up 😂😂😂
£599 is great price, Baz there would be an extra 20% plus delivery to bring it in the UK on top of that but hey still a great price for luthier made ukulele, wonderful ukulele.
do you think those are worth browns on that right now? I would really love to hear that with a low G... and I'd also love to know what to do about a case for an instrument like that
They are Worth Browns - sorry, not my uke to tinker with to change it! It shipped to me in a regular padded gig bag which fits fine. Not sure on hard case.
The real heavenly sounding stuff tends to be high end so you naturally get great looking woods and finishes. I suppose the surprises are dead plain laminates like student Kiwayas and the Brunswick brand that look dull and plain but punch as well as solid wood instruments over twice their price

Could not agree more - totally my pleasure!

I know right?

Indeed!
Congrats on your anniversary Barry... What a great instrument to celebrate with. Thanks for all the reviews. Cheers Trev
Thanks very much!
Yeah, your preview pictures gave me an inkling that it was a luthier-build, but I guessed a different luthier. And that zero-fret and slot spacing method is genius. And the sound is lovely.
A LOT of people assumed Antica Ukuleleria - and I can see why. I also think a lot of people (me included) thought it would be much more expensive!
I love to see you so excited while doing a review on an amazing ukulele. When people on Facebook ukulele groups ask about what ukulele to get I always steer them to your UA-cam channel.
Thank you!
That luthier is seriously undervaluing himself. What a magnificent instrument.
Of course, you just know that everyone who spots the leaf inside will assume it's marijuana.
(I did....) I asked him the question for that reason!

I like the sound of this uke, but maybe a little too big for my personal taste (I love sopranos).
That's a relief!

Great video 👍
I can see that too - either way it's classier than a regular paddle.
Love it when you play a Uke that you like. The facial expressions make me chuckle. Very good playing as always. Such a beautiful instrument. By the way I spent some time at RAF Burtonwood and RAF Alconbury in the mid 1960’s and loved it.
Thanks so much!
This is so beautiful. It sounds amazing. I could feel your emotion throughout your review! Got me a little moved when I was listening to your finger-picking sound sample.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks! Been watching your vids for a few years now. Always a pleasure!
Thanks so much James!!
Couldn't believe the price when I was expecting it to be thousands... I want one! :-)
Me too!
What's not to love?
I always say, that if i win the lottery, I'll buy a top end 'K' brand uke... I've changed my mind, I'd buy this beauty. I could spend as much time looking at it, as playing it. And as for the price, wow, incredible! 😮😮

And Happy Anniversary to you. Thank you for your educational (and entertaining) reviews.
Link to his Facebook page in the written review - can message him there.
Wow! The sound really doesn't disappoint. Really like it - what a price! And the looks! Just classy! Love it! Oddly I was wondering what the highest scoring instrument was on GaU while I was reading the review. Fabulous!
This is one of only three with that score - two Martin Beck Ukes and a Ken Timms
Wow! Right at the top! Thank you. @@GotAUkulele
Amazing wood working hope this review jump starts his popularity he deserves it
He does indeed
Wow! Wow! WOW!! Love everything about that one.
Yep!
Thanks!
Thanks as ever Bonnie!
@@GotAUkulele Congratulations on your anniversary !!
Yay!@@bonniedavidson936
You look happy!
Very!
Absolutely stunning and innovative thanks Barry
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing instrument. When you first started to describe it I said £3,000. Great review Barry, I will buy an extra lottery ticket this week.
Fingers crossed!
Just fascinating! Love this uke. Thanks for another great review.
Many thanks!
It makes me really happy to see such a beautiful uke made by a fellow swede!
Great review, and good job on the pronunciation :)
Thank you! (Phew!)
Wonderful sounding ukulele
Looks great too
Couldn't fault it
Wow, great sustain and the tone is beautiful. It's warmer than usual new build spruce.
Indeed (though it's not spruce)
Thanks Barry! I wish I had funds to look into this! It's great watching you have so much fun! It really is stunning, and all my relatives are Swedish, so my bells started ringing when I saw this review.
All I found for a website was Facebook, written in Swedish. Do you know how people communicate with him? Thanks again for everything, and congrats on the 14 years! 16:27
Contact through Facebook - he does speak good English!
Wow! This was an absolute delight.
Totally!
Not really a tenor man, but I could make an exception for this, especially at the price. Fantastic review. Thank you Baz.
My pleasure!
WOW, what a beautiful instrument.
A real treat!
Totally agree with the other reviews and your assessment Baz. Beautiful uke and definitely a steal at that price. BTW Baz, your shirt is interesting and also that's my name!

What a stunning instrument. Will consider getting one, being from and living close to Stockholm it would be fun to have a uke from around here as well.
Go for it!
I need one wow
This one sold before I could even ship it to the store!
Beautiful instrument. I loved it!
Me too!
Wow amazing baz think that's one of the best scores I've seen you give if not the biggest ? and can understand why too ... absolutely great I want one
There are only three others with a 9.6 (and a few 9.5's). The others are the Ken Timms soprano and two tenors by Canadian luthier Martin Beck
@@GotAUkulele very good score for a quality peace think I'd of been ordering one now if you'd done this review last week lol
Maybe some different strings or a low G would warm it up, but yes, it really sounds great.
Experimentation is good - but not my uke to tinker around with!
Quite apart from the amazing sound, this is a design masterpiece! It makes me think of the best in Mid-century Modern furniture. Is it as tactile as it looks? The finish is mouthwatering.
Yep - great to hold and play!
A real joy. Already it sounds like a classic.
Agreed!
Just 'Wow'.
Quite!
Masterpiece, would love to hear it with a Worth low G!
Not mine to tinker with!!
B.T.W. my long awaited Beck is on the way!!!!@@GotAUkulele
FINE choice!
Beautiful and what a bargain value 10/10, are you selling it Baz 😊
Not mine to sell - going to World of Ukes next!
I think this became my new favorite ukulele that I've seen you review. Quite the beautiful instrument. Too bad my playing skills would make it sound like a $5 toy.
It's a cracker!
Wow, what a gorgeous uke! Does the luthier have a website?
Facebook and Insta
Lovely uke . You must try a luis pilarte just as good 👍
If they send me one - happily - (I do remember asking - never had a reply)
Tyde leader has a similar side + neck as one piece design. It’s CNC mostly I think
It does
Man, that is niiiice.
Flawless!
I wasn’t a fan of boat paddle Ukes 20 minutes ago. It looks great and sounds better. I was literally just thinking the sound seemed a bit clipped when your on screen text popped up 😂😂😂
I usually set the mic in same place unless I am using steel strings, or a baritone. This is clearly loud!
£599 is great price, Baz there would be an extra 20% plus delivery to bring it in the UK on top of that but hey still a great price for luthier made ukulele, wonderful ukulele.
£599 is the price in the UK he's agreed with Matt - if you bought from Sweden I think it may be less but you will pay 20% VAT and Duty
Baz
I ordered one..its been shipped from Markus this week so should be here end of April. All walnut with a premium grade spruce top..Cant wait.
As I hear you quoting the price and before even hearing it I've decided to buy one. I'll comment after I hear it 599?!?!
Yep!
Well it's stunning and actually fingerprints well. But I've got a similar sound. But I still want one 😂
do you think those are worth browns on that right now? I would really love to hear that with a low G... and I'd also love to know what to do about a case for an instrument like that
They are Worth Browns - sorry, not my uke to tinker with to change it! It shipped to me in a regular padded gig bag which fits fine. Not sure on hard case.
@@GotAUkulele cheers to 14 years. here's to 14 more 🍻
Thank you!
16:35
It rates 10 Baz smiles 😊
Ha ha!
why is it i cannot buy any THANKS $ here?
I honestly don't know mate!
£599! That's an extraordinary price for a stunning instrument. I think the one in stock won't last more than a few minutes.
Don't doubt it
Wow, makes me want to contact them to see if they will make a,Lefty ?
The great thing about commissioning from a luthier is - they'll largely do whatever you like. Making this lefty would be no more work
Bit of brightness about the price, too! I was expecting to hear 1,599 or 2,599.
Ditto!
W
W?
@@GotAUkulele 5 am Hawaii time half way through first cup coffee sausage fingers my bad
Really unique sound. I like it 🙂
Have you ever had an “ugly” ukulele that presented poorly, but sounded heavenly?
The real heavenly sounding stuff tends to be high end so you naturally get great looking woods and finishes. I suppose the surprises are dead plain laminates like student Kiwayas and the Brunswick brand that look dull and plain but punch as well as solid wood instruments over twice their price
🥇first commenter, not even watched yet!
🛶🛶🛶 take me back to my boat on the river
Go and watch!!
Looks and sound's fantastic! I wish i could justify another uku added to my collection.❤a
