Oh dear. It's September and all the music stores are sending flyers to my door to torment me. And now UAS is bubbling to the surface again. (And I was doing so well these last couple of months!😉) I am not a huge fan of soprano ukuleles - hard to hold on to, squishy frets and dodgy intonation - at least on the two I own. BUT!! I saw an ad for a long neck soprano, and started my investigations. Do any of you own such a beast? From what I have gathered from the internet, the body is soprano size, but the neck can be either concert size or tenor size. But that doesn't necessarily mean you get more finger room across the frets unless the neck is also wider, not just longer. (Thank you gotaukulele.com) Lord knows I don't need another ukulele, but I am intrigued. Thoughts? Opinions?

I bought a used Ohana SK-30L Soprano body w/ tenor scale from a friend. It seems to have the same neck width as my Pono tenor, so plenty of room. It's not the ukulele I reach for every time, but it has a nice tone and is a nice instrument.
