NUD = Best wife ever!

UncleMoon · May 4, 2013

Look what my wife got me - it came today, fresh from eBay. 1965 (or so) Tombo Ukulet. Tenor scale - 17 1'2", and tuned low g, I don't think it had ever been tuned before. She's clean as a whistle. All I need now is a trip to Rad.io Sh.ack to pick up an adapter for the amp cord (it's 1/8' instead of 1/4").

This is really cool!!! Let me know how it is, I wanted one like this in the past but it just never happened and I ended forgetting it.

My wife has done stuff like that. Definitely keep her.

Some spouses spend their lives pushing against the musical passions of their spouse,
wanting them to *outgrow* it. And the good ones encourage the music, and do things
like what your wife did. Outstanding. Definite keeper.

I'm a uker because of her. I had a guitar (she bought me that too), and she talked me into buying a uke "cuz it looks fun" I think she enjoys it almost as much as I do.

Congrats on a cool uke and cool spouse!

It's a beauty. Your wife is definitely a gem!

I wonder; does your wife know what she's done? Next you'll be comparing amps and casting desirous eyes on FX pedals. Another AS to add to UAS!

How very cool! Your wife sounds like a real sweetheart.

Now you got to do a video review. I'd really like to hear it.

She's got a clue, it started with guitars.

My collection consists of (in addition to the new electric one)
2 Yamaha acoustic guitars,
a mid century Kay guitar,
a 60-70's Faircrest nylon string acoustic guiar,
a Peavy electric,
a hand built (by me) cigar box guitar,
a Mitchell Concert Uke,
a Lyons & Healy Camp uke (mid restoration),
a Lanikai Baritone Uke,
an O&S Zebra Tenor Uke,
a Duke Kahanamoku Soprano Uke,
a little bean shaped souvenir soprano with dolphins on it...

Squier SP-10 Amp
Fender Frontman Amp
Peavey Blazer 158 Amp

Now... to learn to play...
