I will be posting 2 videos that are blacked out of 12 ukuleles...All Tenors..Brands from Kala Lanikai Pono Ohana and Kanilea. Can you tell just from sound which is all laminate, which is laminate solid top and which are all solid???? hmmmmm I Bet you will find it harder than you think. These are all strung with aquila all plain High g tuning and all are played in the same manner with no alteration to recordings......

First person to name all the construction correctly will win a free Kala Ka-t w case.....

They are downloading on you tube now probably up in half an hour or so....

First 8 ukes
