I have owned my OU7T for almost a year now and It still never fails to amaze me with its sound. . . The spalted mango is asthetically beautiful but what really drew me to this instrument is the lightness of it and it has a great voice. . . It really speaks. . . Plus. . . the action of the neck and fingerboard for me is second to none. I like the extra bit of width that Oscar Schmidt puts on its fingerboards. . . Being a guitar player for over 50 years, that feature is very attractive to me. . . The action is smooth. . . I know its laminate but honestly I’ve played many solid wood ukes that dont have nearly the voice that this instrument has. . .

mute: I would guess that the sound wouldn’t be up to solid standards.

I found the oscar schmidts really lovely to look at, but very quiet. I’m guessing if this is another laminate it won’t have much volume?

byjimini: It does look good. A shame it’s not solid though.
