Freshman UKLKOAC Lono Series Concert Ukulele Englemann Spruce/Koa UKLKOAC Lono Series

Bought it secondhand in a superb condition (a couple of years a go) and enjoyed playing it for some time, and I love the sound, some of the recordings I've done with it I'm quite happy with but somehow I can't spend long hours on this instrument. I think it's due to my small hand and (odd shaped) fingers, making particulary playing barre chords difficult possibly because the neck seems to be thicker than I'm used to (whichi a bit flatter). As a result, I'm graviated towards other ukuleles that I have I can spend more time on practising, so I'm not playing this ukele much these days. I was reluctant to sell it for a while but I thought it'd be a good time to find a new home now, who would appreciate the rich deep tone this instrument offers. The irony is that the ukuleles that I'm confortable playing doesn't sounds as good as this or feel solid as this all solid instrument. Currently, Aquila and Fremont Squeakless Wound Low G strings on it (my favourite combination of all the strings I tried on this instrument).

I have uploaded some recordings (please mind that I'm a learner!), using this instrument, on my YouTube channel - Pianist's Ukulele Diary. Mostly done in 2021 - Oct 2022. Some are recorded plugged, some unplugged. I hope they're useful.
