    Ahhh - the wonderful down voter is back. Might possibly more productive if you would care to share what exactly prompted you clicking the down vote. Maybe it could change things for future reviews. Maybe it would damage the brand being featured less? Maybe it would be just a bit more.... I dunno.... coherent?

    Thanks for the review. Certainly a beautiful instrument with great sound. I put this in the category of a once in a lifetime purchase especially with my limited musical ability. Thanks for reviewing it!

      Mark Caspary High-end instruments are almost always easier to play. Take it from a fellow wannabe who has been told he's "awfully" talented.

    I love this. I'm attempting to learn some classical pieces in the Campanella style. This would be perfect. I, too, need side dots though. Boo to the down voters . . . don't understand what's not to like about your reviews. Some people get up in the morning looking for ways to be offended. Perhaps it's the only way they can feel alive.

      Thanks Edward - keyboard warriors who high five themselves when they hit down vote - makes them feel special... Likely because they have little elese in their lives.

    What a great review! Thanks for giving equal time to soprano ukuleles! This one seems like a real jewel. I am curious. Do you think it's the loudest soprano you've play? To have so much sound coming from such a small and thin body is incredible. Mike Dasilva here in San Francisco, California, makes some reproduction ukuleles that I am told have amazing clarity, sustain, and projection.

    • @GotAUkulele

      @@francisco.jesus.luthier4791Sim, é uma Braguinha para a maioria dos Madeirenses. Mas algumas pessoas antigamente também chamavam este mesmo instrumento de machete de Braga. Machete significa pequeno cordofone (instrumento de cordas). Braguinha, machete de Braga, é um cavaquinho que originalmente era de Braga e foi levado para a Ilha da Madeira. Tudo o mesmo instrumento amigo.

      @@GotAUkulele Thank you to show us this beautiful instrument. Machete de Braga, was called by some people of Madeira in the old times. Machete it’s a small guitar in Portuguese, small string’s instrument. Braga was the city that this specific instrument came from, it was a traditional Cavaquinho from Braga. Machete, Braguinha and Cavaquinho, are the same instrument. We have many cavaquinhos that might differ in Portugal, depending on the region. It’s funny when the Machete de Braga went to Hawaii, eventually luthier Nunes in 1895 made a beautiful machete with the strings and tuning of the Rajão (other instrument that also went to Hawaii with a slightly bigger body). I believe it’s where comes the ukulele tuning and bigger body. So amazing to see all the transformations and experiments along the time until they came with the beautiful ukulele.

      @@JohnNoirSmith Yep. And of course the ukulele world caters for all budgets. I suppose it's like you being in the market for a coffee table. You could get a cheap one from Ikea that you bolt yourself and works just fine as a coffee table. You could also get a hand carved and finished table that does the exact same thing as a table. But... will cost you a bit more.
