Hey Ghibli

nice article! So true about the supply and demand. Our local music retailer has back orders and still can't satisfy the number of people in line for a uke. Fastest selling instrument in Tasmania by a huge margin.

Thanks for the link mate. Cheers!

Great article, and nice to hear that the Uke's spirit is spreading around the world and making people smile as it goes, I mean, how could you NOT smile when you hear an Uke play?!

I have been selling more and more ukes to Aussies! So glad to read an article about it! I love my Aussies! I even am an honorary member of a Black Sabbath Cover Band in Australia. At least I am part of their facebook group! Yes Bruce I am talking about you!!!
