Win a Kala Pineapple – Competition Closed
June 1, 2008
COMPETITION CLOSED
I’m jumping on the ukulele giveaway bandwagon and starting up a competition. The prizes are:
First prize: A Kala Pineapple soprano courtesy of buy a ukulele.
Ten Runners Up: One of my ukulele ebooks (your choice).
Everyone Who Enters Gets: Tab for my solo arrangement of Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up (yeah, you read right).
What you have to do: Review your ukulele.
You can write it, make a video, take pictures, record an mp3, whatever takes your fancy. I’ll put it up on the Buy a Ukulele section so everyone can benefit from your experience. The winner will be the one I find most interesting and enlightening (it doesn’t matter whether you give the ukulele a good review or a bad review; or if the uke cost $10 or $10,000).
Email me with your entry (or, if you make a video, upload it to a video sharing site and send me the url). If you want me to link to your website/blog/Facebook/MySpace when I put it on the site, include that too.
The Rules
The review has to be new and original.
You don’t mind me putting it on the site.
You can enter once per ukulele.
Competition Closes: Midnight (Hawaii time) 6th July.
Hey! You’re coming back on my birthday.
What a nice present!
Enjoy your vacation.

I will be able to rickroll people with my uke??? I’m in.
W00T! i tried a pineapple uke in a shop in london and it was great so i’m in. just i’m not to keen on the pineapple finish
Holy mackeral. I’m in, if only for the ricktab. This is an incredible contest. Are you going to choose the best review or pick randomly?
Yes, I can read and I do feel stupid. Look for my entry, it will be the one you find most interesting and enlightening.
Hobbit: Happy Birthday for then. In case I forget.
Amber: I had a feeling that would get your attention.
Bob: Well done, first entry. Extra cool points for you.
n0s0ap: Don’t worry about it. I barely read it when I’m writing it.

Oh good. I just bought a new (and incredibly inexpensive one) this afternoon!
I look forward to seeing it, Emily.
Awesome contest– Kala Kiwi review is in (its the Pineapple’s sister model) The Pineapple would be a welcome addition in my house. I love the tab as the booby prize!
Once we all get the tabs, we have got to get a massive uke get-together and rickroll the world, Uke style!

Nice competition, nice prize.
Of course I mis read the closing date, thought it was tomorrow and quickly sent in a below par entry on the off chance.
Now have to spend the next month thinking of all the things I should have done…
Have a nice break

My Mom’s got a gold label Kamaka, I was jealous and found a flying vee, not up to kamaka standards, went on to a mahalo pineapple – without a bridge or strngs. Once that was repaired – sounds like a million (but I pine for the faux pineapple finish that the kala has!)
I guess you’ve figured out I’m an artistic/visual person!!
Awesome contest, I sent you my review for my Fluke!
Wooohooo…finished review of my best friend “Escape Plan B” coming right up!
Fingers crossed that he will have a new little buddy!

Hey! I love your blogg!
It’s just amazing, congrats, I was looking for a pair of tabs of Beirut’s covers and I wasn’t found them; could you please add them to the list? just Hallelujah and Ederlezi. They’re on youtube in live performances if you hadn’t heard of them.
Thanks you so much!
And salutations from Mexico!
Hello
Just finished a more polished review, hope you enjoy the results.
Was worried about my pronunciation of You-ka-lay-lee but decided that if it didn’t matter about Toh-mah-toes then I might be ok.
In the end I unclenched and stayed true to the way they pronounce it round here….complicated isn’t it?
Take care

Great giveaway! Gonna send my review up the ol’ uke flag pole.
Mahalo, a hui hou!

Good luck to everyone who entered!
This is a pretty nifty little contest!
I realllly enjoy playing my Hilo, but I sure would like to win the better sounding Pineapple Kala! Thanx!

Can i still get the Rick Tabs!!! I just missed it, got my first uke yesterday!
Joe: Send me a decent review of your ukulele and I’ll get it to you.
Can you still post that Rick Roll Tabs….I missed the competition :( but i really want it!
oops OK will do! whats your email
Joe: You can find it on the contact page.
can we STILL somehow get the tabs?
can i just send in a review and get it now or…?
lernon: Yes, if you write a review of your uke that’s good enough to go up in the Buy a Ukulele section. It doesn’t have to be fantastic, just more than, “My ukulele is gr8.”
