Katie: Perhaps they had novelty shaped planes in the 1920s.

I agree about the ‘fish playing a harmonica’ bridge. How is that a plane?!

newbie: I've just written a post about this. I hope it's some use to you. cbf: He has to justify the price tag somehow. todd: ... but I still want them. Isaac: Good point. The first reaction when you find out you've done something stupid should always be, "I meant to."

I like how “construction flaws are artistic reflections”

My $22 uke must be by Michelangelo

how pretenious is the description on that last uke?
i mean really, come on, you can be a very skilled luthier but its a bit far to describe yourself as an artist without sounding like a ponce!

I want to get myself a vintage ukulele from ebay but I’m clueless about how much I should bid for those.
Is there any helpful site out there with prices and such?

How much do you think is the right price for a baritone maccaferri islander?
