New Uke Day!!!! hurray!!!

fitncrafty · Mar 2, 2011

So here it is, and I am IN LOVE with this thing.. It's a k-series tenor eleuke in violet! I love it!! It sounds GREAT.. Looks awesome, and I can't believe how fast it got here!! I have to say, it is tiny I don't know what I was expecting, but it seems so small!!

I got to unbox it while chatting on skype with Joeybug which was extra fun! Came with a tuner, extra battery, and MP3 chords.. yeah!! The included case is quite nice and extra padded, I am jamming with my new amp, to see if I like it (the amp that is), so far so good.

I feel like a rock star (now I have to practice so I can play like one) Thank you Singapore (and thank you Mim for extra great service!)

Congratulations on your new eleuke! I bought an eleuke from Mim (it also came with a Snark tuner) and I'm having lots of fun with it. Pics would be fun.

I actually have 4 now, however my first is so buzzy I barely (never) play it and a makala dolphin that my husband is 'painting' and I have never played it yet.. so I guess yes, this is my second maybe 3rd.. 2 are unplayable at the moment.. The color is much nicer in person... I love it.

Thanks all!

well if you were skyping with Joeybug did she recommend a name? I don't name mine but I know she does!

Ingrate · Mar 3, 2011

Outstanding!

I'm sure you'll enjoy it! Of my 2 'ukes, I play the Eleuke more. I love the sustain, and the privacy. (don't have an amp, even) I play the KoAloha when I've got something "mastered" enough to be heard by others.

I hope you find your Eleuke to be as fulfilling as I have mine (if not more)!

You are a rock star, Carrie - Just by virtue of being a great Mom! Rockin' the uke only adds to it!

The pic of the Uke looks great - can't wait to see it in person. So what kind of amp did you get? And from where - local, or on-line?

No Joey didn't recommend a name, but after 4 months I just named my luna..

it will come to me!

Thanks Jeff.. I am loving it so far, I just keep getting it out and looking at it. I texted the photo of it to my boys guitar teacher (who is awesome) I just can't stop touching it...

Kurt you are so kind, Thank you!! My husband and oldest son went over to drome on Sunday while I was busy with the two younger, they came home with a line 6 micro spider they insist that it sounds way better than the Vox I wanted which drome also had even though its discontinued. I am still debating it sounds good, has lots of functions but operationally it's weird and maybe I just need to get used to it! They got it at drome, love that place! Also got me a mic, which is really funny for a few reasons, one they never want to hear my singing voice, so I just laugh but I can't hold it and play.. so it is useless! ha!! I do so love my family!!

That's a gorgeous Eleuke. I'm glad you love it. I'm sure you'll get lots of joy from playing it. I got mine just after Christmas and I love it heaps.

tjomball · Mar 3, 2011

Congrats on your new Eleuke. I'm sure you'll grow to love it like I've done with mine.
And your new amp should make for a great match with the Eleuke.
I have a modeling amp myself and am constantly amazed at the sounds coming out of the lil bugger..
So enjoy your new "toys" missy and have fun exploring the near endless possibilities of the uke and amp..

pdxuke · Mar 3, 2011

That's lovely! Congrats! When you break it in would love to hear a song!

ukunuke · Mar 3, 2011

Wow! What a great looking uke - enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

fitncrafty · Mar 3, 2011

Thanks all, After a decent evening the verdict is out. I really LOVE this eleuke! I love the way the neck feels in my hands, Now I just have to muster up the courage to post a video.. Only few have dared to hear me play!

I highly recommend the eleuke and Mim's great service!!

Hippie Dribble · Mar 3, 2011

Carrie you are awesome mate. That uke was made for you. It is gorgeous and you are a gorgeous person. Congratulations buddy, so happy for you!!!

Plainsong · Mar 3, 2011

Happy New Uke Day! I know Joey must be drooling over that color.

I was never a Line6 Spider fan, but you go find your own amp at some point!

New Uke Day!!!! hurray!!!
