And now some reality... ever seen any of those 'island built' ukes? When Kumalae was cranking them out do you think 'quality' was at the top of his list? The idea of 'boutique' instruments and all the effort, care and dare I say it - love that goes into them is a very modern idea and method of working. As a historical document, this video is priceless. It tells a much bigger story than the construction of early ukulele - and that is as much Ken's doing as anyone else... ever sharp and on the lookout for a con
. Thanks for bringing it to the top of the pile again.
BTW you should check out Ken's homage to this video - priceless bit of Northern humor and engineering invention. Never understood why you didn't stick to it Ken LOL...
