Added benefit :D

Thanks. I was really surprised how bright and loud it sounds.

I too have a round belly but for some reason it doesn’t get in the way.

Quote of the week... "I can't carry a tune in a bucket". LOL. That uke is sounding really good. Nice build!

Really has a pretty sound. And of course it’s a real looker. I’ve wondered how that sound hole in the back works. I’ve seen it a few times and it seems like my belly would just plug up the sound. It really rang out in the video though. Cool all around.

Very cool build Rob! I have been looking forward to the demo and was not disappointed! You got cat class and you got cat style. Nice bright sound with all those strings. I love experimenting with fishing line strings. Once you’ve made the initial investment, they are a bargain. I have assembled a pretty complete KastKing collection of different line weights.

Nice Build Rob ! looks verry disstinktif like a combo of a mandolin and a uke , i think it sounds a bit like a mando as well great piece !!

Comment by Rob (Uker) Porras on August 22, 2021 at 2:52am

Thanks. I’ve never actually seen one in person. It was a fun research project.
