A comparison of three acacia concert ukes, all available from World of Ukes Do you have a favourite? The video features: Kai KCI-5000: worldofukes.co... Uma UK-30SC: worldofukes.co... Snail S20C: worldofukes.co...
For me, the Kai blew the others out of the water. Very good idea with the "chopping". It made it easy to hear that the Uma was muffled and the snail was silent and lacked bass.
First, it is great to present all 3 in this way, thank you Matt. For me the Uma would be No. 1, than the Snail and last the Kai, but I think everyone has another taste and like other kinds of sound.
I bought the Kai from you in January and I’m really, really happy with it. I think aesthetically it’s the best looking, just the right amount of decoration without being too fussy. I like the video format - very useful comparison.
I loved the Uma though it was a quiet instrument. Great comparison video! I'm on of those people whom opens various videos just so I can hear the sound comparison quickly from ukes I like. 😂
The Uma sound was something I search for in a ukulele. It must have sustain for fingerstyle renaissance lute and vihuela music. I could also hear the individual strings when strummed. Just my personal psychoacoustics
Hi Matt, I listened twice. First with headphones and then with my Tundra's JBL sound system. My favorite is the Uma for its full and balanced sound. Next was the Kai for its neutral sound. Last was the Snail because to me it has a brittle sound to the high notes when playing up the fret board and seemed to lack low end and also sounded constrained in most of the pieces when compared with the others.
I was interested in the Kai, I was busy doing other things, so did not pay attention much to the screen, everytime I looked for hearing the nicest sound it happened to be the Kai
I’ve been thinking about buying a Snail and especially about buying this Snail. But after this video I think it won’t make it to my home... but which one to choose now? For me it should be a mixture of the Uma and the Kai.
Thank you, Matt for this great comparisen video! For me is Uma namber 1. I want uke in size tenor to bay. What do you think of the results of comparing these ukuleles in tenor size. Thank you!
