I have an unusual uke-like instrument, a kabosy such as is played in Madagascar. It's very much like a uke, but in open tuning and with "diatonic" fretting:
I had it custom made on a lark, just haven't ended up using it much, and it hasn't garnered any serious buyers on the forum's classifieds. Everyone thinks it's cool, but not something most folks would play regularly.
That being the case, is there somewhere cool (ideally non-profit for the tax writeoff) that I could donate this to? Any kind of musical institution that keeps weird instruments around for the students to be able to try unusual things? Just thought this might get more use in life if it belonged to some musical community that appreciates trying unusual stuff, rather than being a C-list weird instrument in one player's collection.
I'm up for any ideas, just to get it somewhere useful, maybe get a tax writeoff, and get it out of my apartment so I don't feel bad for it taking up space and sitting in the corner unused while I play my other instruments.
If anyone just wants to see photos/video, here's the link to the classified. But note, I'm leaving a big "planning to donate" at top, as this isn't just some sneaky way to get more page-views. Getting it donated is now the primary plan: http://forum.ukuleleunderground.com...-(diatonic-partial-fretted-uke-like)-US-or-CA
