J-Hob: Good spot.

ronhale: Thanks for the heads up on the Ohana. The round-back thing always makes me think of Bon Jovi and other hair rock bands doing acoustic.

Ukulelia: Ah, cultural differences. I have no idea what you’re talking about!

Phredd: Worth every penny I’d say.

In keeping with the Aloha ‘Oe tube amps idea of rebating $300 for YouTube exposure I have now sent an invoice to ovation ukuleles for $30,000.

Compass in the headstock? Kind of makes it the Red Ryder BB Gun of ukes (“you’ll strum your eye out, kid”)

An interesting bari I just this past week stumbled upon on the Ukulele World site is the new (Aug. ‘09), BK-70RB by Ohana.
Solid spruce top with composite round back. If you haven’t come across it yet, take a good look.

Never really paid too much attention to baris until I discovered the uke group, Waste of Aces, while doing a search on “ukuleles” on CDBaby during your vacation, & bought their 3 cds. A lot of good bari work (not just, of course).

And now that you’ve returned, lives can get back to normal.

The dolphin tuners still give away that it’s a mahalo though, surely they could have put something better on a uke at this price?
