Can anyone confirm that the nut width is wider then 35mm on the TUSL?<br />Any input would be highly appreciated.Jonasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-77145331771502943552021-08-23T13:43:21.915+01:002021-08-23T13:43:21.915+01:00I have a TUS35 and a TUSL35.I I love them both for...I have a TUS35 and a TUSL35.I I love them both for their playability, sound and cheapness. I have noticed however that the extra string tension on the longer scale TUSL is pulling the top down and the bridge forward a bit. Nothing that stops me playing it, but noticeable if a straight edge is laid on the top. No such problem on the standard soprano.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02504997877791191877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-50884088078606974762021-07-06T22:41:42.324+01:002021-07-06T22:41:42.324+01:00Just saw this review and figured what the hell, bo...Just saw this review and figured what the hell, bought one for my caravan and one for if i ever have to travel abroad again with work.

The fact the the long neck has a removable saddle, does this mean we can only change the strings on the long neck? Or is it just a question of action?<br /><br />Also, given that there is no strap button on the soprano, is it still comfortable to hold?<br /><br />Thank you for your time!skyeslasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15580943717965634340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-68741517258581851712020-04-29T17:16:01.084+01:002020-04-29T17:16:01.084+01:00Flight website (link at end of review) has an auth...Flight website (link at end of review) has an authorised dealers page which lists US stores Barry Mazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15731777711884288947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-91971150012475813562020-04-29T17:13:05.126+01:002020-04-29T17:13:05.126+01:00Any leads on where to purchase in the USA?

But I do wonder whether plastic ukes are a good thing in general. A wooden uke is about 90% biodegradable, probably more. And any fool with some woodglue and some elastic bands can patch up a broken one (I know, I have done it). But a plastic uke that gets broken? Its going to end up in landfill.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02504997877791191877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-50127281599683814042019-12-09T00:20:07.556+00:002019-12-09T00:20:07.556+00:00Thanks, I will have to get one now! 😁Thanks, I will have to get one now! 😁Stpetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727690700896212761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-74385148878291739892019-12-08T11:41:40.395+00:002019-12-08T11:41:40.395+00:00There’s much more to it.
