When I shipped Ian's uke last week I got the most wonderful review by him on Ukulele Cosmos. With his permission, I've copied it here.
The Piccolo has arrived. It's the right one, complete with walnut stripe. It's cute, small and not full of LEGO. The neck profile is wonderfully wide and shallow. Intonation is cock on.
You strum it and a big, resonant sound comes out. The noise that comes out of it shouldn't match what it looks like. I don't know how he bloody does it. You pick it, and it sounds bigger than some sopranos, despite being smaller and shallower than many sopraninos. And that's tuned in C.
And you can see what he does with it here:
