Have you taken the time to check out this young lady's videos? It's unbelievable how smooth she is with those very difficult jazz chords. The more I watch, the more I'm in AWE!
I got to see Sarah play live with (and without) Craig Chee at Mike DaSilva's studio recently. She's really impressive and a lot of fun to watch and listen to. But since I'm trying to eliminate the word "gun" and words synonymous with the word "gun" from my vocabulary of idioms, I'd like to find something otyher than "young gun" to call her, like the much less colorful "amazing young talent" or something.

She has been using the CR Rick Turner made for her during our lessons.

I would have been there for that show, but my son had a few kiddie birthday parties that day and by the time they ended it was too late to make the workshop so I went to Jason Arimoto's class instead.
Hi Gary,
I'm taking jazz ukulele lessons from Sarah via skype. It is such a pleasure to work with her and I highly recommend it. She has been using the CR Rick Turner made for her during our lessons.
Mahalo,

There's lots of samples on You Tube but Sarah has the unique mini-jumbo cutaway "jazz" uke that Rick himself made for her.
Yes, that's the one I am interested in. I was planning on being in San Diego a month or so ago, and Sarah told me, via email, that she would bring the CR to one of her gigs for me to check out. My trip was postponed, unfortunately, so I have been hoping for a video.
Rick told me he is building one for himself, so hopefully he will get a video up when it is complete.
I think I have his soundboard in mine
The "le Jazz" model became an option just after I ordered my custom. I had a moment of regret, but I really like the way mine came out.
Maybe Sarah will do a sound sample of mine for me
Sarah Maisel (pronounced maysell) is a transplant from the southeast and a personal friend, here in the San Diego area. She studied ukulele under the recently deceased Frank Leong and brought those teachings to an all new level. When Sarah performs with bass master Paul Tillery, her music steps up into a higher dimension. Add Sarah's inside and outside beauty to all of that and you have a killer formula to musical satisfaction!

Sarah Maisel, "I owe it all to practice...when I first started, I practiced four to six hours a day, I just loved playing."
She and Craig Chee are going to host a Ukulele Cruise, Sept 27 - Oct. 4.
I'm seriously thinking about this.
