I have the original 2019 Platinum Edition pineapple tenor. Expect a big full sound! Of course your 1st two ukes are no slouches for big voices. For just getting started, you jumped into deep end quick! Congrats!

Good for you. @raoliveri! I’m a fan of pineapple ukes but find the nomenclature humorous. Was it @badhabits who caused me to laugh out loud many weeks ago by commenting that it’s much closer to shape of a canned ham than of a pineapple?

 

[Oldscruggsfan]

Why did you show me that.... It cannot be undone now!! lol

Just can’t un- see it!
That’s a Famous (Kiwaya veneer) FU120P. I obtained it (with a damaged bridge) from another UUF member, then repaired & customized, and added a set of black aNueNue strings as a gift to my fiddle- sawing son.

Don't think it was me, but that's a great idea for a canjo.

Guess what's coming today!!??

So jealous! The whole idea of the pineapple fascinates me.

Was this special order, or in stock on their website?

 

[badhabits]

Did your wife put that scratch on it?



Just kidding
Congrats!

Now that is pretty

Congrats on your new uke. I love my Kanilea Tenor Pineapple. The nut width takes a little but to get use to but once you do its hard to go back to the skinnier ones.

We always talk about UAS as something that needs to be bridled, but this post shows the potential joy it can bring. Congrats on your purchase and I hope you love it!
