Gibson, Mya-Moe: Ukulele Window Shopping

The more I hear of Mya-Moe resonator ukes, the more I’m dying to have one. Particularly the lap-steels. There’s this non-lap tenor up on eBay at the moment. Another name that’s been gradually moving up my gimme-list is Gibson. This Gibson Uke 1 is beautiful. At the other end of the condition scale, this beaten […]

Kala Pocket Uke vs Sopranino: Ukulele Window Shopping

The Kala Pocket Ukulele is up for sale and we’ve finally got some measurements. The scale length is 11 inches which makes it an inch shorter than the KoAloha Sopranino and the Ohana sopranino. Of course, such measurements are abstract so MGM has done the old trick of putting it next to a familiar object […]

Juke-A-Lele, Ludwig Wendell Hall: Ukulele Window Shopping

No competition for the uke I want most this week. The Juke-a-lele is the latest addition to KoAloha’s Masterpiece series. Not as classic a design as the Sceptre, but that’s not going to stop me wanting one. I’m not much of a banjolele fan, but I could go for one that looks as good as […]

Pickard, Blueberry: Ukulele Window Shopping

Blueberry are another guitar company leaping onto the ukulele bandwagon. Their Bluekulele is a bit filigree-heavy for my taste but it’s already commanding a good price and plenty of bidders. Anyone ever tried a Pickard ukulele? They’re commanding a high price on eBay UK but I don’t remember having seen anyone play one (or even […]

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 […]

Batik Fluke and Flea: Ukulele Window Shopping

A new design for Flukes and Fleas: the Batik. And the Tiki Flea has had a bit of a makeover too. They all come with the new peg-head tuners which, despite the way they look, are geared. This Gretsch style 3 is just beautiful. I didn’t realise Gretsch had made a ukulele as pretty as […]

Kala Butterfly Bocote/Bicote, Favilla: Ukulele Window Shopping

Another new uke and another new wood for Kala with the Kala Butterfly. MGM refers to it being made from bicote. He might mean bocote – the heavy grain certainly looks a lot like bocote. Either way, I don’t think it’ll make its way on to my shopping list. Two lovely vintage Favilla ukuleles: Favilla […]

Ukulele Window Shopping

A bunch of great uke photos this week: – If you follow Carmel Myers, Wild-eyed ukulele player, Ukulele player bores man to sleep. Hee Haw ukulele, wagon ukulele. Tenor banjolele from Beansprout. Murtlewood Ko’olau solid-body electric.

Mya-Moe Resonator, Supertone: Ukulele Window Shopping

Quite a few lust-worthy ukes on eBay at the moment, but the one that really lubes my wallet-slit is this Mya Moe Tenor resonator. Some fancy soundhole decorating on this G-String Hibiscus and this a href=”http://ukulelehunt.com/buy-ukulele/brands/pahu-kani-ukulele/”>Pahu Kani. Another formerly Formby ukulele. A while back I was wonder about a, no longer listed, ukulele that was […]

Ukulele Window Shopping

A couple more new ukes from NAMM 2010: – Ohana resonator here’s ,resonator specialist, Bob Brozman testing it out. – Uke-blog tributing Ukulelia ukulele. If you can’t wait for the Ohana resonator to turn up, this nickel-plated bell brass Recording King Resonator seems like a sweet deal. But it’s still the National resonator that makes […]
