First the confession... yesterday was actually new Fluke day but by the time I got home from work, let the box acclimate to the temperature inside the house, opened the box and starting playing there was no time for posting
My new hibiscus-shaped soundhole concert Fluke with a walnut soundboard, walnut fretboard, walnut neck and PegHed tuners arrived yesterday. I had Flea Market Music string it with low G black Fremont strings. She sounds lovely and has subtle deep undertones. I'm excited for the strings to stretch so I can really hear how she sounds.
I also found a great gig bag. I don't really like the gig bags that Flea Market Music makes for Fleas and Flukes. They don't open all the way and they aren't very form fitted. I picked up a soft-sided Lanikai gig bag in the tribal print. It's the concert size and it fits the concert Fluke pretty much perfectly. It's hard to tell from the picture because the lining is all black and you can't see how well it fits. If you're looking for a gig bag for a Fluke make sure to try out the Lanikai - you can get them from Elderly Instruments and Sweetwater Music and probably lots of other places.
So happy!
