Reading through the £50 to £100 range, the Baton Rouge V2C Sun shone through with an excellent overall score.<br /> Luckily my local music store (DCR Attleborough Norfolk) were good enough to order one in for me and l have to say I'm delighted with it.(As are they as they are considering stocking the range)<br />It far exceeds my limited ukulele skill requirements and will stand me in good stead whilst l hopefully improve given lots of practice with I must say Baz's easy to follow tutorials.<br />So thanks for the brilliant reviews and pointing me along the long path to knocking out a respectable tune !!Derek Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-76821617632259276752018-01-02T23:36:59.179+00:002018-01-02T23:36:59.179+00:00Baz, as Dave, Liz and Dave have already said "...Baz, as Dave, Liz and Dave have already said "Thanks" .<br />Following your excellent consistent and very entertaining reviews, I've recently bought my very first Ukelele.<br />A Snail Tenor Ebony 598 (OK so not actually a distinct recommendation).<br />On my journey, however, I successfully avoided buying a Caramel. (Shudder).<br />I did struggle betwixt a Baton Rouge, a VTAB and my eventual 🐌.<br />I have absolutely no regrets<br />Although I did find Baton Rouge tricky to source as they were out of stock almost everywhere.<br />VTAB tried to secure my purchase and were offering VERY tempting VERY politely worded discounts.<br />And just for the record Baz, I entirely endorse your "No Strum Pattern" principle. How very refreshing.<br />The only fault that I'd pick is you referring to yourself as grumpy. Not so. Forthright, yes.<br />Wishing you Health, Wealth & Happiness.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17565591370340679645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-57905271516102750912017-12-31T04:00:00.752+00:002017-12-31T04:00:00.752+00:00Thank you for all the good work, Barry!
Anyone w...Thank you for all the good work, Barry! <br /><br />Anyone who is thinking of buying a ukulele, a first one or another one, I always recommend them to check out your Reviews. When they have done that, they have thanked me for it - so I pass on their thanks too!<br /><br />I do encourage them to make a donation too but I don't know if they do, so I will hit the donation button to buy you another well earned pint :-)<br /><br />You have created a fantastic resource here. It must take up a MASSIVE amount off time and energy doing the ukulele reviews. You didn't mention your initiatives on Facebook this year (I've Got a Ukulele" and "UK Ukulele Sales"), which must take up even more time. So, congratulations and thank you for those too!<br /> <br />Best wishes for 2018 - for good health, happiness and . . . the occasional good rant!<br /><br />Liz XXXLiz Pantonhttps://ukulele-allsorts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-17416902002519968742017-12-30T10:53:39.999+00:002017-12-30T10:53:39.999+00:00I'd love to see some reviews about electro aco...I'd love to see some reviews about electro acoustic ukes.
