I was thinking maybe they were on some kind of promotional tour. My boss knows zero about ukes but has been a top notch Pedal steel and guitar/bass player for decades, so I trust he saw uke size cases (he has seen mine). He said the foursome looked Hawaiian to him. I did a search and found nothing on Taylor Ukes.
Oh shnap. Maybe they'll have them over here when Taylor comes to Oahu for their 2009 road show. Looks like I have another reason to go now...even though I'm not a big fan of the Island Guitars store, I guess if there's a "taylor guitars petting zoo" and the possibility of Taylor ukes, I need to be there.
yes, I agree with DaveVisi...I'll have to start saving up now! I'd love to own a taylor guitar, let alone a UKE! Hope they make a tenor cutaway with a hardcase!
I bought a 1995 Taylor 510 (Mahogany/Spruce dreadnought) back in '96. It is a fabulous guitar in every way. And as should be expected of an instrument of its caliber, it sounds far better now than it did then - and it sounded great then!
I can only imagine just how fab a Taylor ukulele would be.
Maybe there were stickers on the sides? I have a friend who put a Taylor sticker on the headstock of her Oscar Schmidt 'ukulele. She stumped a lot of people until Keoki Kahumoku took a look at it and said "eh, that's not a Taylor!". We had a good laugh about that.
If Taylor is making 'ukuleles, I can't wait to see and hear one.
The Baby Taylor case is small enough to fly carry on, so I'm wondering if that's not what was seen. I would think if Taylor was experimenting with ukes, as informed as this forum is, someone here could confirm it.
