Kerry Bannister, Lynnwood, WA, shared a shortneck pineapple tenor with STRUM on Wed and I got to play it on Friday.
It seems Kerry got a hardshell overhead carry on and designed and built this shortneck pineapple to fit inside
It's got a tenor body with a concert scale. He designed it for low G. I requested a similar shortneck for reentrant tuning.
This could be a wonderful 'strummer's' uke!
Most likely not appropriate for you finger pickers who need access to the 12th fret and beyond.
But for us strummer's, with attachment to the body at about the 10.5 fret )), it suits me almost perfectly...as when strumming, I rarely, if ever, need to use the frets beyond #8
Anyway, something to think about!
Happy New Year!
And keep uke'in',
