Zach Condon of Beirut’s Ukuleles
June 18, 2008 · Print This Article
The second in the ‘What ukulele do they play?’ series. The good news: if you want to play the same ukuleles as Zach Condon, you won’t have to spend anywhere near as much as if you wanted Jake Shimabukuro’s ukulele. They’re actually fairly bog-standard ukuleles, not that expensive and would be a good choice for beginners.
He seems to have two main stage ukuleles:
Irrefutable evidence. Looks to me like a BU7TV.
Irrefutable evidence. Looks to me like an LU-21T.
Other ukuleles he’s been spotted with:
Fluke: On the set of the video for Elephant Gun he Postcards from Italy on the Fluke that’s featured in the video.
Samick: In this photoshoot. It’s the only time I’ve seen him with a Samick, so I don’t think it’s a regular player of his. It looks like a UK70.
I noticed the photograph of him with the Samick when I had the album out from the library.
We have a Greg Bennett guitar, so when I saw that photograph, I decided that I must have the matching ukulele. I’ll let you know when I get my way!
Do let us know what you think. I’d be interested to know.
Matching ukuleles and guitars look so cute together.
does he use a tenor fluke?
