I have always thought this for many years, how can black men folk sing so high, sound like cherabs, and have such a range of harmonics, I have always thought the width of the neck or maybe shorter vocal chords, thinner, tighter larynx, bit like a Uke';-), black chaps never seem to strain there voices, neither Asians but not so good as the player involved here, superb voice and superb playing, very, very good my friend, superb.
Hey. Your performance made up my mind to get a mahogany Mainland. Such a nice tone. Should be here in a couple of days and I'm so looking forward to it. Thanks, man...you've got a wonderful vibe which complements your playing and voice beautifully...kudos!
That determines on what you consider "high action".
The distance from the fretboard to the strings is approximately 0.05 centimetres. For a player like myself who alternates between strumming, slide playing and fingerstyle solos, the action is more than acceptable.
great sound. i'm this close to getting a Mainland tenor and your video has convinced me about their sound. Any chance of chord progressions for your Blue Skies?
It was fun sharing the joy of your tenor's arrival!. You have a nice voice and you play great!. Very nice Uke! ( I'll be ordering the soprano :-)

Ok, that makes it official; with a uke that plays in tune, you're one of my favourite Youtubers. Such an amazing voice! I'm so glad you won that.
