Where do you think most of the Hawain brand ukes come from.
The ukulele is already i think about anno 1900 in the Phils.
If its real koa, ask Jeff the seller he knows the builder, he knows allot about wood to, he is a passionated guitar lover. This uke is of export quality,not for the Phil. market. I can tell you the story of the Cebu guitars,if you want. Verry interesting. What i like in Jeff is
he is giving these luthiers, and family the credit, of building them. I know he have great
respect these luthiers. They have a grade tradition, in building guitars and ukes.
He became a friend as i told because i bought a handmade guitar for 64 usd.
Just because of curiousity. It was a parlour, verry traditional hoping it was made
like they use to do. I get a guitar, by know way perfect, the fets wire, was not what
we expected no adays. No strutrod, but that what i want. Just like the oldways.
Cosmetticly not perfect. But the sound that came out of this small guitar came suprised
me, i love it. So for me this was the reason that i wanted more to know about these
people how build in. When they can do this to this little guitar, how will be a reall good
guitar sound.
