Hey, do you think the koa fluke sounds better than the standard flukes?

Hey, Great sounding Uke!
I'm thinking about getting the koa fluke too. Have you compared it to a standard fluke, i.e. wood top versus the synthetic top?
The other features you mention are definitely a consideration for getting the higher end koa fluke.
Also love the Worth Flourocarbon strings--nice tension and brightness is hard to beat.

pretty catchy (and I like the title!)

The Koa fluke certainly sounds better to me, but it is much more expensive.

Are you using traditional uke tuning on this tenor?

Yes - G C E A (high G) I experimented with the lower octave G string for a while, which makes arranging tunes a little easier, but I think you lose that traditional uke "tinkle" - the lower tuned strings seem to drone a bit.

That looks like a tenor version of the Fluke--is that correct? I am considering ordering that model. I heard the spacing between the strings is slightly wider than a tradition uke. Can you please provide feedback about your Koe Fluke? Thank-you.

Hi. You're right - it's a tenor fluke. It's great - very rich, responsive and loud. Apart from the solid Koa top, the other improvements over the standard fluke include Grover statite tiners, walnut neck, wooden bridge and, most important, rosewood fretboard with zero fret (= really low action at the nut) The shape of the fluke makes it like a double cutaway so you can play way up the fingerboard. My favourite uke!!
