Whoever said "patience is a virtue" was not waiting for a new ukulele.

For me, the anticipation is delicious. A great feeling surpassed only by the excitement when the delivery is made and the box is opened. Rare moments to treasure.

Yeah, waiting can be a tsunami of emotions and excitement. But the happiness of seeing it for the first time is worth the wait.
How about the updates and photos you receive when having one built to your specs? It's even more of a challenge to contain your emotions as to wanting it NOW. Going thru that now and yes, getting more excited day by day.
It's about 3 weeks or less away but won't be waiting for delivery. Will drive the 1 1/2 hours to pick it up.
Excited, yes but patient..................Bo............

Pretty simple for me, actually. I just erase the thought and go on to other things. Then when it arrives, I not only have the excitment of a new instrument, but I also have several other nagging things off the to do list. It's really not that hard to control your thoughts.
Aloha Bo..
I am waiting for my Devine..total wait about 2 years..since I am trying to become a better player before I get it I had Eric wait an extra 6 months on his build schedule but I starting to feel it now since I back in Hawaii
..so I still got 1 more year to wait and improve my playing skills..
the wait is so good for me..i practice everyday as long as I can, it motivates me to do the best I can,,so when I open the box I will be able to at least make my new uke sing a little..Lol
where you driving to? in the Islands or what?

lack of communication is one of pet peeves too.

Yes, indeed some top luthiers are extremely good at communication and updates. Others don't answer their phone or emails. Important to know what you are getting into.
On a personal level I am sure they are all great in person, but lack of communication can really take the fun away. Especially,if it is months past completion date and no response to your email.

Aloha Bruddah,
Just above Sacramento, Carmichael to be exact. Be back on Maui end of next month, Honolulu in July fo shua.
How bout a UU Day in Hawaii Nei on July 20th? I'm in contact with ryrod and he's excited.
Will do a post in early July to let our UU Bruddahs in Honolulu know. Stan already knows as I told him a couple months ago of my idea.
Till den, Bo.......

Totally agree with this.
I get updates as the build progresses to give feedback. This way, there are no surprises........Bo...........

He he Dean! Well, I don't think St. Augustine was a uker:
"Patience is the companion of wisdom"
but Corazon Aquino well may have been...
"Faith is not simply a patience that passively suffers until the storm is past. Rather, it is a spirit that bears things - with resignations yes, but above all, with blazing, serene hope"
