Jeff: Oh, I think I saw a video of Aldrine playing that Supa'lele. todd: I keep thinking I should get a really nice ukulele. Can never bring myself to spend that sort of money on a uke though.

I always want to stay longer but had some promises to keep. I spent quite a bit of time talking to the guys in the Oceana both. They were one of about 20 fine luthiers. They had something the called a Supa'lele which was a five fret short beautiful guitar ADGCEA. My ukulele buddy Bob "DaDawg" from Santa Cruz swiped it up into his collection without much hesitation! I thought that the rosette designs were quite beautiful and perhaps they have an Equadorian flair. See the Oceana site gallery. The fronts were quite thin and the polish was much like my DaSilva ukulele. And the prices were a bit lower that other custom luthiers.

Anyone know if using only hand tools results in a better instrument? I'm willing to pay more for quality, even if that quality lies mostly in visual aesthetics, but I don't want to shell out extra for needless labor. “The biggest difference between us and most Ukulele companies is the simple fact that we truly hand build the Ukuleles, we hardly use any power tools.”
