Mahalo Cedar and Spruce Tops: Ukulele Window Shopping

Mahalo have a new range of “banjo styled” ukuleles with solid cedar and spruce tops (the spruce tops have a cheesy Kamiki Method type illustration scrawled on them). The shape of them is close to the Lyon and Healy camp design.

The Joe Brown signature Kala ukes have hit the US. I didn’t realise he was famous over there. Is he?

Mainland are selling off a few factory seconds.

Photos: Ukulele girl & boy & meddling kids, musicians with shotguns (like the Krazy Kat Klub one of those gangs I wish I could hang out with).

    The Mahalo camp ukes have been around for a while – the cases (sold separately, alas) are very good value for banjo ukes.

    karl: They’re not banjo ukes. They’re all wood.

    todd: You’re insane!

    Joshua: Depends how high the bidding gets.

    I know, and I knew, but the cases fit banjos as well. I saw them in an Ostend shop window a few years ago, and they’ve been for online sale for longer still at jam.se.

    If I remember right, they’re a close copy of the Gretsch Camp ukulele, without the cheesy blue paint.
