Hi Graham
I picked up the uke before lunch. Firstly thanks for the excellent packing and labelling, first class. 
Well this instrument is already incredible sounding and will just get better as it opens up. I struggled to put it down before a meeting :)
The headroom is huge, i mainly fingerpick so love digging in without distortion. I imagine the Adi top is a factor but your bracing methods too no doubt. The Worth browns are a great match too, warmth and depth in spades! 
Extremely happy with this purchase & will hopefully record a few things with it soon (will send links)  :)
Cheers, Steve

Graham,
The African Blackwood Baritone Ukulele arrived in supergood time and very well protected.  As usual Graham the quality of your workmanship is outstanding.  Sounds wonderful.  This is an instrument that I am proud to be looking after until the next generation.
Just a further comment on the Red Camphor Laurel Tenor ukulele.  I have already commented of the excellent workmanship.  I took this instrument to my classical guitar teacher today.  He is highly qualified and an experienced performer and recording artist.  After playing the ukulele for a bit covering the whole of the fingerboard, he turned to me and said, “ this Luthier really knows what he is doing”.
Best wishes, Garry Deegan
