Strong Wind Ukulele

STRONG WIND UKULELE REVIEW

LOOKING FOR A GOOD, SOLID UKULELE ???

Try the Strong Wind Ukulele! If you know ukuleles, then you know they are all different and the quality varies tremendously. I've found a 17 fretter with a nice voice and volume. The intonation is pretty good up the neck and the head stock isn't too heavy. I also like the bowed back, which provides a nice resonance. You might tweak it a little bit by sanding down the saddle a micron or two-- things like that are standard for set up on stringed instruments--but I would recommend it! Of course, whenever you get a new stringed instrument, you have to play and tune, play and tune, to stretch and season the strings. And yes, the Strong Wind is  pretty, and has the fret dots in the right place! You can order them from Amazon (naturally) and contact them through Facebook.
