Those of you who follow my exploits in eager anticipation of the latest installment (and please stop stalking me if you do) will recall that a record store opened up down the street from my office.

Yeah, a RECORD store, that sells RECORDS. Like the black round discs that contain less than 30 minutes of playing time per side.
Anyway, the place had some ukes for sale. So I brought in some old vinyl that was gathering dust for more than a decade, and traded for this:
A Mahalo model sunburst-POS (well, actually a UTL-30SB).
So, basically for free (LPs no longer having value to me), I have a uke to fiddle with at the office and I don't have to care what abuse it suffers. The action is actually not horrible at the nut but almost a centimeter above the fretboard on the other end, so I will lower the saddle when I get a chance.
The sound is a lot like the sound a cheap uke makes. But the price was right
