    Latest Instrumental - Sea of Love

    Just arranged a few instrumentals last night after I put the kids to bed. It helped that I already kinda knew the chords but I wanted to find the melody notes within the chords... it was challenging but fun :) http://youtu.be/a09RsIx2vlw

    Help me, luthiers! You're my only hope. (Re: crudbox)

    This probably won't help much with what you are doing but I thought I'd let you know an alternative route. This is a picture of a 90 year old mandolin slotted headstock that was cracked in half.

    New KoAloha Soprano

    Well I'm back from Maui and I am stoked to be the owner of a brand new super sweet uku! While I was there I went to several stores and played about 20 different sopranos, all made in Hawaii by about 5 or 6 different makers (most seemed to start with K) anyway, they were all pretty much amazing...
