Earlier this week I got something I had been looking to find for a while, a Pineapple Baritone Uke! Double bonus it was made by Gary Creed.
Had one of Gary's baritones before that was awesome, but sold it in downsizing purge last year. Well, after seeing a post on FB from Creedy,s Workshop I found some of Gary's ukes for sale at Fret Mill Music's website. To make a long story short, I got one, this Pineapple Baritone.
Gary's instruments are solid sounding and playing, but they definitely make me remember that ukes are folk instruments, more for playing and less for critiquing for perfection. Love this one. Gary names all his instruments. This one is named "Hey Good Lookin". Top is Acacia and the back and sides are Sapele. Neck is curly maple with a walnut center. The rosewood fretboard is bound with curly maple. It definitely has a big, resonant sound. Fortunately it is not a boxy sound.
Here's some pics and a sound sample.
