With all the excitement over the new Flea and Fluke designs last week, I completely the missed the new mahogany Flea and Fluke ukes.
I don’t know why more people don’t include sound and video clips in their uke sales. It certain helps if you’re a shit-hot player: it must help Jake Wildwood – add him to your favourite sellers – who does it with his items (and the quality of his pictures are a lesson to all eBay sellers). Two instruments taking advantage of having talented owners at the moment are this Martin Taropatch demonstrated by Aaron Keim and this Martin taropatch put through its paces by ukulelezaza.
The new f-hole Eleukes have turned up on eBay UK. Including the rosewood model which I hadn’t noticed before. [UPDATE: No wonder I hadn’t noticed it before. According to Ken, these are imitations. Which makes the listing very misleading. I’ve contacted the seller and BugsGear and I’ll let you know if I hear back.][UPDATE ON THE UPDATE: BugsGear have confirmed it’s all on the up and up. Clearwater are an OEM.]
There are plenty of copies of the Roy Smeck Vita Uke around, but here’s an original.
Can the ukulele be sexy? I think this will answer your question.
That’s crazy… I took that postcard picture to show everyone my new ukulele. I didn’t know that it would become a hot selling item on eBay. My hair doesn’t look like that anymore, by the way.
ha ha.
