A little late but never too late for this one........
THE MYA-MOE BEANSPROUT BANJO UKULELE:
I wish that I had known about this comparison when it was posted. This is a truly valuable
test because you can hear 4 lovely banjo ukes made from distinctly different woods. The
results are challenging to say the least. I can't resist commenting on the quality of the sound
of each of them, the intonation and the sustain. I have to admit, even my very best banjo ukes
do not have these qualities. Aaron's instruments have a truly melodic capability as well as
strumming and picking. In short, I think it's time I buy one for my own use. At the end of each
test he plays the harmonics at the 12th fret and that is something I have never heard any banjo uke
pull off with such sustain and clarity. I might ask him to make a flat resonator back when I order
one (if he would even consider such a thing.). I like them on a banjo uke to reflect the sound outward and not directly into your clothing. I will admit though, these don't seem to suffer for lack of volume.
I published an email interview with Aaron several years ago on this blog and picked his brain a little
bit about his instruments.Bravo Aaron!!!
