New uke day!

NatalieS · Oct 1, 2010

I ordered it on Sunday... drove to Ocala to pick it up at 7 AM this morning. By the time I got home, I had to head straight to class, so it sat, in its box, until I got home just now.

There are no words to describe how unbelievably beautiful my new uke looks and sounds. The grain is so unique with a wonderful array of light and dark tones. I had to get pictures outdoors in the sun to capture it perfectly. And even with the stock Kamaka strings, which are rumored to be dull, it sounds sweeter than any other instrument I've ever heard in person. This is indeed "The One"... I am awestruck.

Introducing... my Kamaka pineapple.

Sounds wonderful! I'm in the process of switching to Worth strings now, because I heard many people say they bring out the best in Kamakas. I'm still a little speechless, I'm so happy.

I've join the Klub and will make a video once the new strings are settled in. Thanks for the comments, everyone!

Congratulations Natalie, welcome to the world of the Kamaka pineapple! To me the Kamaka pineapple is THEE Hawaiian 'ukulele in it's purest form designed and made by a Hawaiian, and unique enough to be patented, a Hawaiian original. I grew up with the sound of my dad's Kamaka pineapple echoing thru the house especially on Friday nights when Dad had friends over for his Aloha Friday Pau Hana parties. Both Dad and his Kamaka are memories now but what great memories they are. I am hoping your new Kamaka helps create unforgettable memories for you and your loved ones.

PS. Join the Pineapple Patch too.

Well, ahem, of course, it almost had to be! Now that is one beautiful ukulele! I can't imagine that any other pineapple (or some say any other similar model from anyone else) comes close to how it sounds. Congratulations!

Now... if I can talk Mike of UkeRepublic out of the Mainland uke you sent back...

RyanMFT · Oct 1, 2010

WOW! Such a beauty, and I bet it sounds even better than it looks! ENJOY and play the heck out of it!

roxhum · Oct 1, 2010

I am so happy that you are happy and that the wait for all of us is over. Congratulations. It is beautiful!

I actually ordered from Mike at Mainland, not Mike at UkeRepublic. I don't want to get your hopes up!

It's beautiful! I think that's next up on my wish list too.

Did I read that right - you can order a Kamaka from Mainland??

New uke day!
