Janakkala extreme build...

Pete Howlett · Apr 10, 2010

The web page has been up just a week and we now have 5 enrolled in the Extreme Build Course in Finland. I'll be videoing the preparation of some of the kits and taking a look at a modified solera based on my experiences of last year. Watch this space...

Oh and I've made a start on the form templates for the Symphony Harpuke as well as comissioning the metal spinners to make the parts for my tenor resolele - spring is really here!

Wow that's awesome Pete! I would really like to travel to Finland too, someday. I had a chance to hang out with my favorite band of all time(Apocalyptica) for about a week when they were touring the US 2 years ago. Just from their character and from everything I have heard/read about Finland, it's a beautiful country, they have a great quality of life, and also produces some very talented musicians!! Are there any big names in the ukulele world that are Finnish yet?

When you say Finland, I can't get away from thinking of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGWqtwhS2KY

That should be a great experience.

Hi Pete,

I think the target of old Johnny Boys post was your typographical error. I must admit that it had me laughing too.

Take care,
Thomas
