HI Everyone

I was just settling down to do my essay after a quick play on Rhea for my challenge song (should be able to post that soon) and there was a knock at the door and it was a postman with Hope, my new Tanglewood TU 1CE, Acoustic/Electric Soprano Ukulele with an amp, free lead and everything.

I made a video of me unpacking her so everyone could share in my joy! I'm just uploading it now and will add it to this post!

The amp is sooo cute, and I can't wait to try them both out, gonna have to decide if I put off uni work till tomorrow and play with my new Uke and amp or do it today!...think it's gonna be the latter!! Can't wait to tune her up and get a sound sample for you guys, may have to do my latest challenge with her!

Anyway..YAY for new Uke days!!!

Joey

Congratulations, Joey - She looks like a wonderful instrument. Can't wait to hear something when you have her all tuned up - be sure to play amplified and acoustic for us!

That didn't take long Joey. I thought it was just last week you started to save up.

It took me a couple of weeks, I just found money from places where normally I'd fitter it away!

Congratulations Joey. Wow...#5 already. I think you may need an appointment with Dr. eugene mate! Don't think I was the only one who couldn't stop smiling as you were opening the box. Really happy for you, she sounds lovely. And 'Hope' is a beautiful name. My nana was called Hope actually. Blessings mate...I'll come and grab you from the waiting room when it's your turn...
