anybody read Japanese?
Jakes seems to be endorsing and showing off this brand of strange looking ukulele in Japan

A make your own uke out of matchsticks boxset are you going to be stocking

When I first scrolled down, I thought they were origami ukes.

It looks like bamboo strips glued together.

A Transformer uke?

russ_buss · Jan 22, 2010

that looks too cool! i'd want one but it probably costs more than i'd care to pay for a uke.

I seem to remember a post a while back about Takamine bringing out an inexpensive student uke, and someone (Jake?) endorsing it. Coiuld this be it?

I can make out "some-blurry-kanji" and "ukulele" in the yellow vertical font between the ukes.

Any clearer pics of the ad? Not a lot is readable to me...

My brother speaks Japanese way better than me, so I am gonna ask him in a little while. He may be able to pick something out of it easier than I can!

Here is the flyer from Jake regarding the "Music is Good Medicine" program, it's not the same ukelele. It may be the Japanese version.

There used to be an Origami club where I live. Unfortunately they couldn't get enough new members so it folded.

Here's the thread you're refering to. MIGM Ukulele . . . and a link to the MIGM website.

I have no idea what kind of ukulele that is but I am sure he can make it sing. LOL

I can't read kanji if my life depended on it, but they're apparently auctioning the ukulele for the charity group Jake supports. This was back around Christmas though apparently =P.

hahahah! Awesome!

GrumpyCoyote · Jan 22, 2010

That's bamboo for sure. Looks great. Love the angles. No clue about the origin... but I sure do want to hear it.

Ahnko Honu · Jan 23, 2010

My son can read some since he went to college in Kobe, Japan. He said the top one says the 'ukulele is up for auction for a Christmas charity.
The second one he says is too blury, and the he's a tad rusty after 4 years to make out all the kanji. Oh well.

I was hoping that there would be a forum rule against jokes that bad. Unfortunately, I can't find one, so you get away with it this time...
