You may be pleased to hear that Sound Smith have taken heed of your comments re fret markers. Outward facing markers are not at 5,7,10,12 and 14. Side markers, black dots in the cream binding have been added at 3,5,7,10 and 12. The nut is still rather narrow and my chunky fingers are struggling a bit.<br />I don't think you mentioned the supplied case in your review,its very good, nylon outer, styrofoam shaped inner pod type covered in a velvety looking fabric, much better than any other included case I have had.<br />If you're a UK based buyer the total cost of purchase zooms up from the $249 at the time of your review ( they are now $259 on Shannon's website). Delivery cost is around $70 - £54, and then there is the Customs duty of £7.08, Import VAT of £45.66, and a Clearance fee of £11.35 - so a further £64. The total cost of my $249 (£193) uke came out at £311.<br />Please do keep up the excellent unbiased reviews, always a good read and a good guide. This resonator makes a nice addition to my Baton Rouge 8 string tenor and the Snail zebrawood soprano, both purchased following your reviews and both great instruments in the value for money and tonal qualities stakes<br />All the best<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319339023650370702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-48707922558423532662018-05-27T22:02:26.799+01:002018-05-27T22:02:26.799+01:00State of the art images :) On my list of ukes to b...State of the art images :) On my list of ukes to buy (UAS).Javihttps://ukeleleonline.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-88189618371117860902018-05-22T18:04:57.971+01:002018-05-22T18:04:57.971+01:00Personal I guess and you are right re guitars.

Loved your review as much as I always do - keep up the great work - it is really helpful, thank you.
