Hi Ahnko,
Thought you might. It is, after all your fault. All that yammerin' on (and I mean this in a really really good way
) about pineapple this and pineapple that.....so decided to try building a couple to see what all the fuss is about. Now I'm really diggin the pineapple thing and want to try to make some more.Attachments

Hi Kanaka,
I gotta learn the whole youtube thing...not to mention how truly poor my playing is... My dad will be here next week for an early Thanksgiving and I'll have him bring his uke and get some video then.
In the meantime, here are some more pics. Thanks for asking

Hi Kailua,
That other one is a bubinga kasha tenor kit from Hana lima 'ia. It was my 4th build. It came with plans and all the materials except tuners. It was also the first one I built with the benefit of the Hana Lima building manual. The string through body thing is straight from the Hana Lima book...it's an easy way to do it. Thanks for asking.

Had a question on the kasha bracing: Do you notice a difference in the sound compared to traditional soundboard bracing? On my Bucket List: complete the two week course at Hana Lima. Thanks for sharing your beautiful ukes and welcome to UU! :music:

I don't know how to answer that, Kailua. They all sound different. It sure looks cool, though. I'm working on consistency and hopefully with some experience I'll be able to build a couple where the bracing is the only difference
.As for Hana Lima 'ia school, man, go for it before bucket time so you can enjoy your build(s) longer!
