Man, when it rains it pours.
Has anyone in this website ever confused my work Sonny Daze Musical Instruments with Sonny D ukuleles?
I received the following message on YouTube today as well as another in my e-mail.
"Have you heard of Sonny D ukuleles in Hawaii? There company started in 1969. Its very strange that you would call your ukuleles sonny Ds' as well.
If im not mistaken it seems like you are trying to steal the name of The real Sonny D i n hawaii. I suggest you change your ukulele name, since your just starting. You may be hearing from the real sonny D's lawyers soon."
I aplogize to anyone who may have mistaken my work for Sonny D. I do not, nor have ever referred to my work as Sonny D and certainly am not trying to profit from a similiar name. As some of you already know, I do not make money on my instruments, it's just a hobby that I really get into.
I was not aware of Sonny D ukuleles until I saw something on the UU just recently. By comparison, I can not hold a candle to the Sonny D ukuleles and as a stand up guy, I would never claim to.
Well, I am wuss, so I guess I'm gong to have to come up with another name for my endeavor. As a middle aged, middle classed, midwestern, suburbanite, I have no time or money for a lawsuit. Although, it seems outside of the spirit of the ukulele to have to do this.
I like my logo - the tribal SD, so I may need help coming up with a new S D type name. I just thought of one "Shi**y Deal".
One last note: If my logo represents anything remotely close to someone else's I apologize for that as well. And if it does, please let me know now so I won't have to go through this hassel a second time.
