Actually Joe made this heart shaped sound hole ukulele for his wife Kristen in concert size originally but now it will become a member of their production ukes starting FEB 2011. Slated for unveiling at Namm this winter in january but you get the first look now at this tenor model....the Kuuipo.

I'm a sucker for this kind of thing...he he...LOVE it Mike!!!

Joseph Todaro also builds his akulele's with a heartshaped soundhole...he calls his the 'sweetheart' model:

:love::love::love:
 
I think I'm in Love.
 
Just because it has a heart doesn't mean it's a chick uke...Ukulele Bartt plays a uke w/ a heart soundhole. There should be a poll asking if guys would play a uke with a heart? lol

YES YES and YES!!!! I'd be surprised if less than 75% answered positive to a question like this. The uke is the instrument of luuuuuurrrve aint it????? :)
 
I've loved their heart-soundhole ukes since they were released. Good to hear that these will become more available in the future!
 
You know, we need a "courting uke" like the "courting" mountain dulcimers...

Okay OEMs, get to it, you can have the idea free, just send me the prototype... LOL

I love it. The only thing I would have designed differently would be to shape the end of the fretboard with the top of the heart... instead of ending it abruptly in a square.
 
I'd play one of these. We ALL play from the heart, don't we?
@ Eugene, Kuuipo means sweetheart, but you knew that...........

Do ukuleles have a “pre-war Gibson” analog like banjos do?
