forgot I even had this photo...yeah, ha ha
 
Come on Stan, one picture aint going to do. Any possibilities of a sound bite?
 
what the heck is this? from the picture, we don't even know the size. The could be a swimming pool shaped like a sound hole!
 
It was loaned to be by a real good friend for months...believe this uke is the holy grail....it had looks and played so easy..almost effortless and sounded so sweet ...well balanced tone and you
just could hear all the individual complex notes....and the price... whew gonna pass out Yes Ukeykondo..it is a Tenor....here is another picture to satisfy you..

Bruddah Stan, you found it! Now you just gotta find that video clip. But I guess you've played so many different ukes it's tough to keep track of all the photos. Wish I had that problem. :)
 
Oh, yeah, fine! Sure, it plays so smoothly and effortlessly! Of course we only have your word for that, Mr. Stan!:)

All that said, golly gee I'd love to play it for a few minutes!

Thanks for the pix, and if you can find a sound file, I'm all ears.
 
awesome! thanks! that's pretty sweet

We need more fish ukes! Do tell!
 
Yes this uke is probally at least 3 years old...and Kanilea did come our with a higher line as Mike said...
To me this uke is special though, it has the two qualities that makes it outstanding..looks and a killer tone.
Very hard to find to me...not every uke will be this good and almost you will never come across..
I do like pretty ukuleles, so I can't wait to see what Mike will show us of Kanilea new line...
 
Wow. Very nice. I would have liked to heard a sound clip. Too bad. I'm looking forward to seeing the signature ukes.

this series is not going to be a line...each and every ukulele from Joe's series will be something special and unique from what i understand.....i wish i could leak a picture of the first,,,maybe mgd my dog can finagle some soon as he gets out of the fishpond chasing that carp.....
 
Are the ukes you're talking about the same as the cocobolo one Joe showed during his NAMM interview?

I was told the 1-off Cocobolo/Spruce Signature might be going on ebay.

I asked if they could make a sound sample of that baby.
