Andrew...I know somebody who might one of these....
Hey Mark are you looking at this....wow
Hey Len,
I'd heard about this. It's a beautiful instrument. I believe it's nylon strings. I'm hoping to find one (or perhaps have Ko'olau build me one) with steel strings.
yes I am pretty sure Noa can build one with steel strings...as he is a great guitar builder too...
I can ask Andrew for you...once he gets back from the Big Island next week
Thanks, Len, but there's no rush. I'm waiting on two Compass Rose ukes and an Anakoneke, so funding is going to be a problem for a while. I bet this tenor guitar goes fast.
Oh, and actually Pono is making a similiar one but with fan bracing for nylon. Gonna call it a big baritone. That should be at NAMM too.
It is steel strings! Actually it had extra lights because they originally had it tuned CGDA. Which sounded really cool too but I wanted to demo it in regular tuning. We'll put regular strings on for the next demo when I do a blog. I'll come back to it. They want to show it at NAMM but we'll sell it after that. They are making another with spruce top for NAMM too. Oh, and actually Pono is making a similiar one but with fan bracing for nylon. Gonna call it a big baritone. That should be at NAMM too. This one is x braced for steel though.
Wow, that sounds like the ideal octave-ukulele platform! Any idea what the scale length will be / is?
When will the Pono be available? Will Pono have a steel string version?

Coming by January is the nylon version only for Pono. I'm sure they will do a steel because Pono steel string guitars are incredibly good. Corey used his Pono guitar for all the guitar parts on his new album. Said it blew away his guild. In fact the producer of the album, Kelli Cruz was so impressed she bought the same model for her husband, David. John, Ernie, and Guys brother, also a great musician. Mike Love is using his Pono guitar full time now too until Noa finishes his custom Milo guitar. So I'm sure they'll come with a steel next and we'll actually be able to afford one.
Thanks for the comments. (I will measure the nut soon for you didgeridoo2)
