I have seen some Eddy Finn bashing in the past, possibly deserved, but none the less I thought I would share a recent interaction.
A fraternity (Woman in music, Sigma Alpha Iota?) here at Illinois State university has a couple members who were doing music therapy at a hospital and wanted to buy a couple ukes for the patients so they could leave the ukes there. They did an open mic at the same place I do the Normal Uke Jam so the owners of the place asked me to help them. I donated a uke to raffle off. It was a ton of fun for a Sunday night.
In the end they raised a good chunk of change. maybe enough to get one nice uke or 2 ok ukes.
I called around to some vendors I have done reviews for to try and stretch their money as far as I could. In the end Eddy finn sent 2 all mahogany EF-15 concert ukes, with hippy cases and tuners, and they still had money to spend. I think in total the ukes were worth $500 and they payed WAY less than that.
I just want to publicly thank them for being awesome and helping make this fundraiser even better and helping spread the uke love.
