Thanks for all the good suggestions.

Wow those Waverley pieces must really be special, I did ask for nice ones.but but.

Sc_rufctr. These Tahitian style uku are somewhat like the banjo where the bridge is mounted on the sounding board rather that the body of the instrument.
This one I bought from a Marquesian man who brought it to Tahiti Fete in Papeete.
I love the Marquesian carving on it.
Here is a little of how they sound.
