My Vincent Van Gogh ukulele is an Ohana tenor ukulele hand-painted by Moogly Moo, a UK artist. Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is painted on the front and sides, and one of his self-portraits covers the back. The headstock has a small section of "Wheat Field and Cypress Trees."

Moogly Moo did a great job! I love this uke!

If you'd like to hear what it sounds like, I made a video of Don McLean's "Vincent" using this uke:

Very nice! You should totally learn to play Jacob Borshard's "Vincent and Theo" on it!

Great job! When I read the thread title, I immediately thought of cutting one of the 'ears' off and replacing it with a friction tuner

I just watched tonight , the movie about Van Gogh starring Kirk Douglas, good movie , he was very suited to the role. Did know much about his lifes story. Gives me a new perspective and apreciation for your instrument and video
