It has been written that a nineteenth-century patent clerk once suggested closing the office, as everything which could be invented had been. His expectation for the end of novelty was premature, to say the least.
So it always is.

Haha. Yeah, I walked by a couple of different booths and was confused wondering if I already walked down that aisle. Same color schemes, same combination of ukes and cases, etc.
Trade-show booths can be very same-ish
Did Gator cases bring a gator with them? I know they did that at one AV tradeshow (Infocomm in Orlando, probably 5 or 6 years ago). I probably have a photo of it somewhere.
But yeah, a ukulele looks like a ukulele and a guitar looks like a guitar. I don't envy the people who set up trade show booths for a living.

Actually, yes. There was a person in a gator suit. I felt sorry for that person
I didn't mean a person in a gator suit. I meant an actual live gator. They even let me hold it.

Is nobody gonna mention master Uke player Feng E in the back?!

I normally dislike blingy ukuleles, but will probably be the only person who likes the blue Kanile'a.
No chance of me buying it, (aside from what I assume will be a hefty price tag, Kanile'a necks don't work for me), but I'm enjoying the photos.
Thanks to all who are keeping us updated on what we're missing by not being there.

Kanilea certainly do beautiful details. Awesome shot of Feng E too!
Same as Joyful Uke said, not buying but fun looking.

The HMS crew is surprisingly quiet, are they even there? I guess the KoAloha highlight will be their anniversary dinner/show. I certainly enjoy the live streaming from the Kamaka booth, they got the Aloha right ...

I saw Kalei and Andrew Molina. I'm sure they are probably there. Their productions are pretty high quality so they are probably working on editing and such...

Kapono is only 16 years old, he played a few times at the hotel we were staying in November ... amazing talent:
Music-wise I'm barely just now peeking out from all things Neal Peart to take a look at what's getting posted about NAAM2020 / Uke, LOL
Can't be the only one...
I thought this was a funny little photobomb pic from DanY... Great photos from DanY!!

Yes, the Kamaka crew were there. Here is a clip that I took of Pomaka'i Laney yesterday.

Lava U introduced a line of carbon fiber ukuleles at a starting price of $399. Very attractive looking.
That either looks like a very cool thing or a ton of marketing fluff.
From their website it looks like they start at $300 for an acoustic 23" model (I presume a concert). The 26" (tenor?) appears to be about $20 more. The pickup adds another eighty bucks.

Ah, so that's the uke Feng E is playing in one of his latest videos.

Hey everyone!
My first time at NAMM and it was everything that I imagined, totally awesome! Here was my point of view, hope you all enjoy!
New KLOS Uke with the carbon fiber neck, richlite bridge and fretboard, and upgraded tuners. Sales rep guy said it'll retail in the $900s.
