Finger-pickin' uke-jam on one of my favorite Mindy Smith songs... test driving the new Journey Instruments soprano travel uke. They've designed a brilliant, slimmed down, go-anywhere ukulele with premium appointments you don't typically find on travel ukes – Sitka spruce top, Meranti mahogany body, arched back, scoop cutaway for the high frets, Aquila Strings plus installed pickup and strap pins – tiny package, big perks! :) Why compromise when you can #playjourney #loveit #journeyinstruments #goodtogo #ukelife ...

Just got a new uke to demo and it's so fun to play I haven't been able to put it down! Impressively big sound in a little package. Journey Instruments has pulled out all the stops on this one. Thin body, arch back design with a sitka spruce sound board and meranti mahogany back and sides. Stylish rosewood cutaway for easy action in the high frets. Not only that, this soprano uke comes with a passive pickup (yes!) and Journey's own padded and pocketed ballistic nylon travel case. I think we'll be spending a lot of time together... :) #itsthatgood #playjourney #awesomeukes #guitarstoo #eattravelplay ... See more
