I had the mind-blowing honor of meeting Jake Shimabukuro after his concert last night in Princeton. It was incredible!
I brought my Mainland tenor for him to sign. The moment he saw it, his face lit up. It was pretty funny, he was like a kid with a new toy. He looked it over and said that the wood was gorgeous, that he loved the rope binding. Then he started to play it! I was too enthralled by his playing that I forgot to take a picture of it... Props to Mainland Ukes for their amazing work!
If you haven't seen Jake play live, do everything you can to make it to one of his concerts! Absolutely amazing. He's really humble, too!
on a side note, I noticed that he was using a strap. Does anyone know what strap it is? You can see it in this video, too:
