Ok in the past month I've acquired two new ukes, both koa back and sides with a cedar top. Other than that, they're pretty different ukes!
The first is a Michael Dunn Maccaferri D-hole uke. RichM told me that Michael doesn't make these any more which is a shame because this is really a beauty. It sounds great too! I have it strung with Worth Brown low-G so it sounds lovely and rich.
Uke number two is a 2003 Black Bear by Duane Heilman. The inlay on this is glorious and the uke was lovingly cared for by Rev. Dr. Kate (UU: revdrkate) since it was first made. In addition to its beauty it's got an accumulation of good karma from Kate playing it at hospices and senior homes for years. I'm nowhere near as good a player as the Rev but I intend to enjoy the uke just as much. She has it strung with Worth Clear high-Gs and it sounds great with these.
Enjoy the pics! - Mary
