Yes. It has a high action, but I’m getting used to it (I’d had the instrument for only a few days when I recorded). A high action can be good for tone which I like — and I’m not finding it hard to fret in the first fret (I had that problem on a mandolin and had to get the action lowered). I’m finding the tone has a bell-like sound which is especially pleasant for more classical pieces.
Also, because it’s man-made materials, it’s in tune with itself — which I like a lot.
I find it interesting that the uke is much heavier than my other tenor. I would have thought that carbon fibre would be lighter. I like the very smooth rounded neck — my fluke tenor has a bit of a corner on the neck which occasionally irritates my thumb.
I got it with a pickup and am curious to play with it and an amp and effects down the road.
