Hi John; Uke has just arrived. Such a sweet sounding uke, probably the best sounding uke I have. Many thanks. Rick.

Dear John, Philip thinks the Martin O is a cracker. He brought and applied Aquila strings, put a tiny amount of teacut on one or two blemishes to make them merge in more and gave it a polish with Martin guitar polish, it looks and sounds terrific. Best, Tom.

Hi John; Arrived safe and sound, and what a great sound. Can now see why its been fitted with a mandolin tail piece ( did wonder), years of tension on the top have taken their toll. I find this so often with old ukes, they seem to have made them so delicate. Guess thats why the old ones sound so good, thats if they survive at all. At the moment I have just taken it to G C E A but think it would really sing in , a D Fsharp B. Do not want to put too much strain on the old thing. Glad you are back on line and please send me the catalogues when you get your new stock. Cheers; Andrew.

Dear John; I am very happy with the Uke and it plays real easy. Thanks for all your help and assistance with the selling of my uke and the purchase of the Baritone. When do you think you will have your Web site sorted? If you get a Martin Tenor, can you let me know, I may be interested. I have been looking for one for a long time. Thanks again for your help.
Regards; Andy.

Dear John; The uke arrived Tuesday, Ive been ill with this flu bug and only got round to opening the package today. The uke is great, what a tone, so sweet and pure, same with the sustain on it, long and sweet. The volume the uke puts out is loud enough for me. Many thanks. Seasons Greetings; Rick Lunt.
