I'm sooooo very excited: John Kinnard has started on my large body soprano, which I'm getting through HMS. Of course, HMS is always tops. I've also gotten to know Kevin Beddoe of Kinnard pretty well over the last year and have had the pleasure of playing about 15 of John Kinnard's ukes. I'm a BIG fan of his work and thrilled to finally join the Kinnard owners' group.
This uke is being made with a claro walnut body and western red cedar top. Appointments include herringbone rosette & rear center strip, side sound port, ebony fretboard & bridge, and a shaped fretboard end (instead of straight cut).
A fellow uu'er that I've both sold and bought from is also getting one, though his appointments are somewhat different. It's been fun to compare notes.
Ahhh, May seems like a long wait!
