This is a gallery of all of my ukes, a total of fourteen by the latest count. I suppose I suffer from a mild form of UAS (Ukulele Acquisition Syndrome), but I justify it by saying each looks, feels and sounds differently. I even managed to sell some ukes away again so my cave in the basement is not too cluttered. Will make better photos when I have time and the weather is better.
This is my first uke that started it all. Got it as a bundle (uke, tuner, gig bag) for my birthday in 2018. I still have it, it is now my "office uke".
My second uke, got it used for a good bargain price in 2018. The uke is solid Koa, and it was built in November 2012.
A uke from Kiwaya's budget/entry line I ordered from the UK; this is a soprano with a long neck (18 frets) and has a laminated top. Kiwaya laminates are famous for sounding better than many solid wood ukes.
This solid wood instrument by the German manufacturer Brüko is from the brand's Soprano Classic line. Brüko ukuleles are quite famous -- famously loved or hated.
Fished this Concert uke mainly for optical reasons: The moon crescent shaped sound hole, moon phases on the fretboard and the nicely structured wood look stunning. Sounds fairly good after I changed the strings, too.
Purchased this used uke in the US; has the wood fretboard upgrade. This is my only Low-G uke at the moment. It has a really nice action and plays absolutely smoothly, especially after the some buzzing issues have been taken care of.
Got this used Martin soprano because, well, I just wanted to own a Martin, too. This model is not made any more (Martin's current budget model: S-1); it is not a top instrument, but sounds good enough, with the typical Martin vintage sound and quality. Had fret inlays added by a local luthier, so I suppose this one is a unique instrument.
