I know that there have been other threads about this, but I have decided to start a new one.
I always name my ukuleles. When I get a new one, it becomes part of my family. Sometimes their names are obvious and come to me right away. Others take time and alot of playing before I decide on a fitting name. Sometimes it's a physical trait that inspires their name, sometimes it's their sound.
So I introduce all of you to my family. I am looking forward to being introduced to yours!
Kanilea K1 Superconcert. Her name is Genesis. I call her Genny for short. Because she is the one that started all of this.
Pono Mango Concet pineapple w/ MiSi. Her name is Penelope. Named after the wife of Odysseus. He of the Oddessy. What a long strange trip it has been.
Surf concert Flea w/ rosewood. Her name is Samantha Brown, after the personality on the travel channel. Because she will travel any where with me.
Custom painted Ukelyptus concert Fluke with rosewood and pegheads. Kermit. Because it isn't easy being green
KoAloha Pikake Concert. Kevin Ukulele. I am a Red Sox fan. Looking at the back bout reminds me of his bald head.
KoAloha Pineapple Sunday. Sweet Pea. Because of her sweet crystaline voice
KoAloha Sceptre Concert. D'Artangnon. Because he is young, brash, loud and swashbuckling
KoAloha Tenor. This was a toss up. It was almost Pavarotti. But it had to be Aphrodite, after the Greek goddess of love and beauty. She is stunning to look at.
And lastly, I have to go back to my first uke that I started playing with. An Applause UA-10 that is completely unplayable to me now that I have all of these magnificent sounding ukuleles. IT'S name is dogshit. Self explanatory.
OK. Who's next?
