I hope you all got a ukulele for Christmas. I bought myself an Ohana TK-35G (full review coming up). And it’s lucky I bought my own present as my brother bought me a Mahalo Flying-V. Bless him, but it’s the worst ukulele I’ve ever laid hands on. So right now I’m purely window shopping. Here’s a few ukes that caught my eye.
Ohana have brought out a plastic backed ukulele which MGM describes as sounding like a, “Fluke on steroids.”
Another gorgeous vintage uke laying in the ‘Hula’ category currently massively undervalued.
What the jumping-Jehoshaphats is this thing? Quite possibly the weirdest ukulele I’ve ever seen. And what’s going on with the frets?
It’s not often you see a Tahitian ukulele on eBay, but right now there’s a Cook Island ukulele listed.
“Alright mate, do you fancy buying one of those stickers from a Swagerty ukulele?” “Cool, yeah!” “Great. That’ll be $150.” “Fu…”
The Pathe Club loves Ukulele Dick.
1. A friend of mine has your Ohana and I really like it: it sounds so bright and happy.
2. What is the point of the plastic back/spruce top?
3. I guarantee there are at least 3 collectors watching that auction
4. Normally I’m into ukulele oddities, but I’m with you. What the hell IS that thing?
5. Why is the sound hole on the back?
6. A $150 sticker? You know, sometimes it’s just really depressing that there are people in this world that happily buy that stuff and others that can’t afford their prescriptions (me, at least until my new job starts) and others who can’t even afford to eat. Ok, I’m over it. Let’s shop some more! Can you recommend a loop pedal?
7. I’m so glad Ukulele Dick got some love!
