I was fortunate enough to purchase the Pete Howlett koa tenor that Doc_J had for sale. I received it a couple days ago and realized I was doing Doc J and this beautiful tenor a disservice by not doing an offical NUD. I just can't stop playing it and that is why I am late with the NUD announcement. This ukulele is everything Hodge said it was and more. Very light, super responsive, plays like a dream koa beauty. Hodge is a great guy to deal with and if he is selling anything you are interested in jump on it.

My tablet takes crappie pictures compared to what Hodge had put up in the posting but here is a look see anyhow.

Congrats! Koa is such pretty, twangy wood!
 
Nice! I think Koa is probably my favorite wood for ukes, overall. Looks great and sounds nice, too.

That's beautiful. It looks like a sunset over the sea in the side-on view. Is it a satin finish?
 
Congratulations! The uke looks great, and it's always nice hearing that a member of the UU community who is trying to sell an ukulele is great to deal with. Happy playing!
