Been waiting all week for this...

Was actually wanting this since last year when I first saw it online but just didn't have money for it, but Mike at Uke Republic posted it on FB and I just couldn't resist. He set it up with Orcas and I'm not sure what the gold low G string on it is. I can't put it down so I'm posting this using my phone. I'll be posting an entry for the 59th season of uke using this sometime this weekend.
It's so pretty!!! Smells great and sounds amazing!

Nice, congrats! That's pretty sneaky resorting to putting the uke on FB to force you to buy it. LOL One more reason for me to avoid spacebook - there is enough temptation right here!

Hey Mina,

Really nice looking, can't wait to hear you play it. BTW, loved your rendition of "Everybody Talks" on your little dolphin. Those Aurora Silkgut strings give it a warm, mature tone.

Congratulations! It's beautiful, but I don't think you mentioned either the maker or the model. So what is it?

Pretty sure it's a Kala Marcy Marxer signature series..I could be wrong though! I love how the inlays are little snowflakes

Yes I was too anxious to play that I forgot to include details... The model is Kala KA-ASAC-TGE-C... And yes it is the Marcy Marxer model. Spruce-top, Acacia back and sides, multi-layered headstock, Grover tuners, built-in tuner, pickup.
Thanks everyone!
