Ok, I have been playing and dealing ukes for far too long to not have already taken the plunge and ordered my own custom uke. But I was waiting for the right uke, the right build, the right feel, and it just to be something unique that I would love!
Then... I saw the new Imua ukes. The Hawaiian made brand from Big Island. Love the feel, love the sound, it is just what I have been wanting. So I talked to Jorma and told him I wanted a little something differant. And he could smell what the Mim was cooking up and said he would pick out the wood for me. He even described what kind of wood he thought I would like before I even told him!!!
I hinted that I might would love some progress pictures! And he came though!
So without further ado... here are my Uke-asound pictures! Just as if I am an expectant parent, I have been excitedly showing them to people whether that want to see them or not! Just as people look at ultrasounds and sometimes can not tell what it is, already I have had people give me a look and say, "Ummm... ok... nice!" I start saying things like Premium Curly non-bookmatched Koa picked out by Jorma himself and people just nod and smile! Hahaha!
So I needed to share with those who would appreciate! LOOK! LOOK closely! When it is done it is going to be a wavy, quilty, amazing little monster of a ukulele for MEEEEEE!!! Finally!
