You really need to know about Millar Ukuleles

EDIT: I am hearing from a few different sources that the Cedar is actually Yellow Cypress - a similar wood to Cedar native to Taiwan.

It's so refreshing to have a new brand to talk about that give the established big name brands like Kala, Big Island, Pono, Flight etc a real run for their money. The Millars are made in Taiwan and seemingly are a massive brand in their native country whilst having almost no footing in the Ukulele world elsewhere.

Love it that you and Matt love each other. Great Cedar Tenor!
Stunning instruments.
Thanks for doing this video! Millar Ukes are different from Chinese factory-made ukes is because they are handmade by a family based in Taiwan.
Normally I don't like rop bindings.. But these are gorgeous!!
I recently bought a Millar long-neck soprano from Matt at World of Ukes and it's fabulous. Second only to my Mya-Moe tenor in my collection! And the Millars are a bargain as Alex is saying!

Bought the Millar long neck soprano from Alex too - superb uke. A real little beauty to play and great value for money.

What a wonderful review of these superb ukes. I saw Matt's review on a couple of these as well some time ago. I almost pushed the button, but those huge rope binding kept me from doing so. Now that I see they have ones without that binding, I might reconsider very soon. Thank you, Alex!

I have changed our listings... The invoices from Millar list it as Cedar and Google translate translates Hinoki as Cedar - it's an honest mistake and something I can correct in future videos.
The wood of the top plate of TK240 I believe should be Taiwan cypress (檜木)which is a very treasured wood. I read from Millar’s old FB post that they savaged such precious wood from demolished old house.

That is extremely interesting and explains a lot. I will do some more direct research about this. Thank you
When u showed the second one, the TA, if it had a pin bridge i would think it’s a Kanile’a
Millar's tuners are from Der Jung, another Taiwanese brand.

Most of them are branded Millar. I'm not surprised to hear they are Der Jung.

Hi Alex👋🏼 I was wondering if you will ever be able to stock a multi ukulele tree stand for those of us who like your shop a little too much 😉

A company called String swing used to make one designed for shop displays... The thing is that they were monstrous in size and cost something ridiculous like £400-500. Send me an email with your details and il do some research.

I know this is an older video, but how would you compare the TA-240G to the Flight Spirit? They're in the same price range, but I don't particularly want a pickup despite how pretty the Spirit is.

There is little in it. One isn't better than the other in my opinion... the flight is pretty and aesthetically impressive but I think on this occasion I'd take a Millar.
Is the rosewood model cypress or cedar? The technical blurb says cypress but Im thinking cedar..

It's Yellow Cypress which is practically indistinguishable from Cedar...

Hinoki is a close relative of Port Orford Cedar & Alaskan Yellow Cedar. This can be where the confusion comes about.
