THat is a beautiful Uke. You are lucky to have it.

as to the photos, maybe you can pop over to the photography forum and get some tips from one of the regulars about how to take better photos?

Wow. I want one.

Wow. I want one.

So it can sit in the case, right next to your other one?

I dabble in dichroic glass, being hampered mostly by not owning a kiln to fire the glass. Here is the winner of this year's CBS contest.



Second place is not too shabby either:

Anyone else play? My mom got me a cheapie for my bday last year, and I've loved it. I want to get a new uke for better sound, but I can't really figure out the difference between a 130 dollar uke and a 450 dollar instrument.

I play, the four string version that is. But I don't play cheapies - I have a Martin ukelele from the 30s (my grandma got it while her family was serving a mission in Hawaii and she passed it on to me).

See, SeattleUte & SoonerCoug, mormon missions can result in miracles!

It's beyond nice - it's the only beyond nice thing I own (besides my patriarchal blessing, of course). Your brother's ukes look pretty fancy too.

GM, my 11-year old daughter wanted nothing but a ukulele for her birthday. We went to the local music shop and asked for advice. There were some beautiful 3-400 dollar ukes, but we ended up getting her a middle of the road one for about 110. It suits her fine, and I'm sure most who would want to start playing one.
