Not as nice as the No.80 ukulele
About a year or two after aquiring my prized No.80 ukulele, I found that another "Nippon Gakki" (Yamaha) 1960's ukulele was available at about half of what I paid for that one. I decided to go for it, but the sound is quite a bit shallower than the No.80.
I believe this is because it is thinner - and the legend is that it was produced specifically to be quieter to cater for those living in the tight-knit and paper thin housing in Japan.
Still a nice enough ukulele though.
