The Myrtle is gorgeous to look at but, more importantly, has a beautiful rich sound. It is definitely my favourite of my ukulele collection. I love playing it. Pieces I have been working on for a while now seem easier to play!
One question: there are rings on the outside of the case. Is there supposed to be a strap with it, to clip onto those rings? The case is beautiful and a lovely surprise!
I treasure my playing time on this instrument. First of all, the figuring in the wood grain is stunning. The ebony fretboard complements the wood perfectly. The friction tuners are outstanding quality and balance the concert size well. The tone is BEAUTIFUL. It is a pleasure to play. And finally, the Oregon Myrtle SMELLS SO GOOD. I love the fragrance of this wood. It warms up in my arms and releases the most pleasant wood scent. I am in love with it. Thank you so much to the luthiers at Kala.
