I have always said I prefer the look of my Carbon Fabric Blackbird , (downupdave )Dave probably thought the Farallon is safe in my care when he is on vacation. It would have been safe if curiosity did not get the better of me.
Dave has gone through 6 string changes to found this perfect set . It’s a combination of Thomastik wounds and classical nylon guitar strings for the trebles. To say the least, the sound blew me away.
Just as other members commented, Farallon is way up there with my custom built ukes (sorry LFdM and Ko’olau). While he was gone, I simply could not put this baby down.
This is a custom built Farallon features side sound port , strings through bridge with radius fretboard. Dave waited a very very long time because of the upgrades.
Here is the story :
Dave knows whenever I buy one uke, another one must go. He gave me a challenge that is if I find a buyer for one of my ukes while he is away, this one is mine.
I wish I could see his face when he read my text that I sold one of my ukes exactly 24 hour after he left . A gentleman he is, he kept his promise so this is how this Farallon joined my uke family. I don’t blame him if he removes me from his baby sitter list and by the way, I have not paid him yet this is why I said I kidnapped a Farallon.
Here is a short video showing off my new used uke that still has the new uke smell because Dave takes care of his instruments like a new born baby!
