Any BP kayak owners out there? I was wondering what you thought of them and if oyu have any sound bites? thanks, rem
Had 1 years ago, a solid mahogany that sounded great. The reason I think I sold it was the feel. The thick very round neck with the tenor scale didn't agree with me. It was also a bit heavy.
Check out YT, boat paddle's website and FB page for sound samples
I don't have one, so I'm sorry I can't help out with a sound bite...but I really want one.
I had heard that the necks on Boat Paddles were a little chunky and when I had a chance to play one I thought the same thing. I know that Victoria Vox had Jerry shave down the neck on her uke that Deach had made for her. When I had Jerry build my custom ML tenor I had him slim down the profile to 3/4" at the nut and I find it much more comfortable. That's the advantage of having a uke custom built.
I just received my Kayak concert 5 string cedar top cocobolo b/s with the finger nail markers MISi pu. I love the way it looks and sounds. I think the neck/fretboard feel great with great action and perfect set-up.
