I'm not a ukulele player, just stumbled across you because I do better with smaller guitars and you're one of the only people to do any reviews on some of the lesser known ones.
Believe it or not, you've actually sold me on this one! It's definitely "boxy" sounding, but in a unique way compared to some of its peers. Would you say the sound hole is fairly standard sized? I'd love to throw a pickup in this and complete the package ????♀️????
I live in india, where can i find it?
Super cool!! Really enjoyed this
Thanks for sharing this video, would it also sound better if installed by nylon strings?
Diminish its value says it’s tonal great value compared t the Gibson. ????????????
When it comes to travel guitars, I think the Taylor GS mini leaves the rest in the dust.
I was eyeing up this very guitar a couple of years ago, but for one reason or another – ironically – I went for a Caramel baritone uke. I’m now mildly interested in this Aria again: partly as a “travel” guitar, but also for its sound, which I think sounds quite “alt-folk”-like. Listen to “The Rooster Moans” by Iron & Wine, or “Skinny Love” by Bon Iver – that sort of thin, almost banjo-like tone. If I have some spare cash (or can find a secondhand bargain), I wouldn’t mind one of these – thanks for the review!
For that money, I can forgive the boxy tone and sloppy polish… but wonky tuners are a deal-breaker. They can render an instrument un-playable. BTW, in the close-up of the slotted headstock, the 6th-string tuner axle looked crooked. Tsk, tsk.
I really like these reviews. It's nice to see a different instrument as much as I love ukes. Love your dreadnought though. Sounds absolutely awesome
I'm excited for this 'series' Baz, I've been looking into smaller guitars (I'm a large person and find dreadnaughts uncomfortable to hold)
Hi Baz, can you play burn baby burn and throw it on the campfire…
You can make it double its price by signing the guitar……a Baz signature guitar…
Yes…its cheap and cheerful..
Sounds terrible…
I've got the nylon strung version of this guitar (Aria ASA 18HC ?) which I think has a much nicer tone – warmer and less jangly – and suits the compact body size better. It's also an easier crossover for uke players more used to nylon strings. It's a great little guitar to keep within easy reach at home or take on a trip without worrying about the odd knock. You're right about the scruffy finish and poor tuners, but hey, you get what you pay for. Thanks for all your reviews Baz.
Nice review and good idea for a review. Thanks.
We need more aria in this channel! The aria au-1 soprano has probably more value for money than the Kiwaya
I don’t know if you’ve ever tried the Gretsch Jim Dandy parlor, but for a small cheap all ply guitar, it sounds pretty decent. I love mine.
I've been saving for the Enya nova guitar, so I'm excited to see the other reviews. Thanks!
That was one of the odd instruments that resonates horrible on my end. Glad you played the dreadnought too???? The Aria is an interesting instrument option, thanks for the review????????
Entertaining review as always,awful sounding guitar.
Interesting stuff, like the idea of these reviews.
Think you need a not a ukulele channel
I think this compliments uke reviews nicely. Would love to see a review of Outdoor Ukulele guitars. Durability and small size makes them interesting.
Not surprised by the sound and quality noted here…Must admit I didn't have a lot of luck or love with my Aria 151 Mtn parlour and much fuller sounds can be had with a lot of other parlours and for not much more than the Aria.
I bought a Jasmine mini dreadnought short scale quitar that was a return at $US 50. Solid spruce top and quite resonate with good base. Never a fan of standard sized dreadnaughts but “travel” minis can be quite expensive. It is far better than this Aria and at its regular price quite competitive. The gig bag is a dust cover and the tuners could be better but for that price buying decent ones is not a big investment if the guitar bones are good.
Almost felt like walking into the wrong room, then enjoying what I've found! Great review, Baz ✌???? ❤️
Bought a fender parlour for my son when learning. Smaller depth was ideal. Thanks for the review, not bad for the price. Honest review as always. Have a good week.
I like you doing these, and look forward to more as well as the regular uke reviews. The bad news is that this review has made me want a Gibson dreadnought rather than the one reviewed!
I like the direction your going. But that doesn’t sound good on this end lol
Interesting. I quite like the flatpack wardbrobe laminate vibe.
sexy body shape & headstock
I really enjoy the specialty guitar reviews. I wouldn’t want a normal full size guitar anymore but I do have some interest in mini guitar and guitarleles. Not that I am buying one anytime soon but they are pretty cool…..thanks DOC
I love this channel because it just gets more interesting…thanks Baz ????????
Not too bad, I suppose. Soundwise it's for me a bit like comparing a grand piano with a harpsichord. I'm sure there are much better Parlour Guitars about, in fact I know there are, because I bought one. ???? Great you added reviews about these guitars also ????
