Hey, keep your nose out of your sound hole.
WTF, I thought I was the only player in Northwest Indiana.

I'm with you. That new instrument smell is amazing. Years back when I got my first Taylor acoustic guitar, I made the mistake of bringing it to a bonfire. The thing smelt like smoke for weeks, and then the original smell was gone 
. I definitely won't be making that same mistake with my new Pono! It smells heavenly.

It smells heavenly.i was on vacation for a week and came home and the first opening of the case was awesome, the smell caught me by surprise! i dont know if in the time spent away i had forgotten what it was like or if it was a little stronger from the case being closed for that time but it was definitely the best welcome home i received!

None of mine have the "new uke" smell anymore.
What a great excuse to buy a new ukulele!

I love the smell of Mainland in the morning!
Unfortunately, mine smells like Oscar Scmidt....even though it's an Ashbury.
