Yes. All day. If I had $2200 to spare I'd have an order in. That's a blues machine. And the quality of the thing is astonishing.

I play a gretsch boxcar res. This uke stands up to that. Happy birthday Baz

In February, Southern Ukulele Store put up a video with a green Super Baritone and I so fell in love with it. Still in love with those! The bluesy sound grabs hold and won't let go. It's number one on my wish list!

Steve makes really superb instruments. I was lucky enough to have him make me have a tenor sized uke with a short scale Baritone neck. Opted for a traditional shaped body in tobaco burst with a slotted neck. I love it. It's a thing of great beauty as well as a fantastic instrument. :)

Wow! What a Wonder. I love the color and the look. The sound is not my cup of tea, but depending on the music that's played, I can see myself enjoying it. Great point with playing slide too. I would have loved to hear that as well. What a special way to celebrate. 🎂 🎵

Thanks for the review!! I have a tenor resonator--a Pohaku......perhaps someday I'll have a Beltona??? I take a look at the Beltona website from time to time. Reluctant to order but if I see one pop up that strikes my ukebone.....I'll likely push the order button right quickly. Congrats on another year milestone!

Phwoar. That is a beast! I really crave a resonator for old-fashioned blues music. It sounds like the cheaper ones aren’t worth it though, and there’s not much that’s mid range, so something high end is an aspiration (a Beltona would be beautiful). That said, have you ever looked at the Wailing brand of resonators? I haven’t seen any reliable reviews.

@GotAUkulele Жыл бұрын

I've reached out to Wailing to try to get one for review, but he's never responded - sometimes they do if potential buyers say they want to see me review one (hint hint!)

It's quite a lot smaller than a guitar - far closer in scale to a baritone uke than a guitar - plus four strings, not six
