all I need now to be totally happy is their mandolin

I have been playing ovation guitars for 40 years. This uke is great. The electronics, the shape, the feel of this instrument are what happiness is about.

For anyone interested in buying a ukulele and can afford it, the Applause Ukulele is the one to buy. If you've ever heard ukulele's before, you'll agree that most have a sound that's just not quite right. It's as if they are out of tune, even when they're not. I know some will argue that's how they're meant to sound, but it never sat well with me. I played classical guitar and I expected the better ukulele's would be able to emulate that same harmonious in tune timbre. Unfortunately, you can spend a thousand dollars and still not get a great sound (when compared to a classical guitar). Fortunately, I've now been proven wrong, the Applause ukulele sings like a guitar. If that's the sound you're after, you wont be disappointed.

P.S. I've also read a lot of stuff about the volume of this uke and I would say it's only down about 10% on volume, but it sure makes up for it in sound.
