Well my East Start uke is who knows where but it's still NUD for me. I just returned from 11 days in Hawaii which was pretty darn uke-tastic. I met Jake Shimabukuro, god of ukulele playing, met Chuck Moore, god of ukulele building and also Len & Cory up at HMS. I also took in most of the uke shops on Oahu but couldn't find any KoAloha Sceptres that I was looking for. Fortunately, we also did the KoAloha factory tour this trip and pops had a cool 7 point Sceptre tenor. Got a great deal on it as a second. It has a slight tool mark across the face just above the bridge but no big deal, you can't see it in the photo. Most Sceptre models are the usual 5 point crown, this one has 7 points on the body as well as the headstock. I was happy to find the special model and the sound is great as well. The folks up at HMS fixed me up with a case that fit it so I'm all set! Here's a pic. No problem finding something to play while waiting on the East Start to find it's way to me.
