A soprano/tenor seems odd.
Everyone wants a $300 laminate soprano that Jake might have touched.
If he were to sign each uke, that would certainly boost sales.
So basically here, Jake has commercialized his success by lending his name to a Chinese laminate ukulele that he and his brother have started pedaling. He doesn't play them himself, he still plays Kamakas, but these have his initials on the headstock, which gives the buyer a connection to Jake himself. Interesting. He'll sell out.

Jerryc41;2102711 I wonder if they would have had better luck with a straight tenor. [/QUOTE said:I wonder if that wasn't an option because of his tie-in with Kamaka. There is the new Jake model Kamaka that is a tenor, (and a previous one), and in a sense this would compete with it, (though totally different price ranges), if you want to buy a Jake model ukulele.
