K series Eleuke on it's way!!

freckleduker said:

I'm totally stoked. I just purchased a concert K series violet Eleuke. Now I will have all sizes of ukuleles in my collection. A couple of cheapo's - a Mahalo soprano (now my daughters), a Rogue bari, a mid priced Kala tenor, and now this concert beauty! Yep, it's official I have UAS bad. I haven't even been playing for a year and I have 4 - oh my. Anyone else have the concert Eleuke? I'd love to see pics and hear your reviews.

I hadn't been playing six months when I got my fourth..,.and none of them are Electrics, I'm thinking about looking into that as a big purchase should all go okay with disability benefits not being cut off and such...

I await to hear how great it sounds and haven't seen a picture, so will await yours arriving to see that too...but I do love me some Purple!

I'll definitely take some pictures and post a video of it as well. I love me some purple, too! I have a purple Daisy Rock hearbreaker guitar that's just so divine. I was pretty pleased to see the Eleuke in that color. Your purple uke is quite darling.

The purple is quite nice. The ukulele had this weird static/buzz going on when I plugged the headphones in and also when the amp was plugged in. I looked on UU to see if there was a remedy and voila! there was the answer: just change out the 9v battery. I just love UU. It always comes through for me. My husband is coming around with my ukulele playing; he even looked high and low for my amp and cord, then proceeded to locate the power plug for it, hooked it up for me and said, "let's hear that thing play." I knew I was keeping him around for a reason The bag is padded very well and I may not need to purchase a hard case after all (or at least anytime soon). I haven't tried out the MP3 feature yet as my ipod is still in a moving box somewhere. Anyhow, I'm thrilled! I'll be posting a video to Hankthetank's slave4 new wave contest (if I can muster up enough courage) with the new addition.

Now I've had my tenor Eleuke for almost a month. And I must say. It sounds great through my lil Microcube amp. I'm even able to make it howl like a full size electric guitar. I've had no issues with it whatsoever. It holds it tuning very well. With Aquilas on it it really sings. Only thing I'm going to do with it is change the control knobs(don't like the look of them).
I simply will not part with mine.. I'ts become my fave instrument.. I've also grown fond of being able to play silently unplugged..

The new uke looks fab! And as long as the kitties like the boxes, it's a win-win all around!

Looking forward to hearing what it sounds like - and then I'll go back to encouraging fitncrafty to get hers on order. (g)


Hmmm.... Purple... that might be worth considering for whatever I end up with next....
