Thanks, Dennis. I meant to ask, how is that Kinnard Cedar/walnut tenor settling in? From my guitar experience, cedar starts out better than spruce (I have a cedar/walnut classical guitar) and opens much faster. How does it sound after a couple months?

Here's a project I just finished. I found a very cheap uke at the local thrift store for $7 the other day. The action was way too high and I suspect it was strung with something akin to fishing line. Anyway, I sanded down the nut, put some decent strings on it, and painted it. I figured if it messed up the sound, I wasn't out much money. It was a lot of fun to play with, and it still sounds very nice for something I only have about $20 invested in. 
Scott Wise Concert. Number 495
Australian Blackwood. Ebony fretboard with flame highlights. Hand carved wood bridge and nut.
Currently using Red Series strings (which suit this uke to the ground) I'll record some playing on an iPhone and post it up.

I'd like to show off my preciouses too! 
From left, a cheapie Mahalo strung with Worth strings-pretty nice sounding for a cheap uke, an Anuenue LaniIII-lovely sweet lilting tone, a Kala reso- almost a banjo like tone, and a Buzz Box cigar box uke which is made by a guy in NSW Australia-this sounds the best out of all my ukes surprisingly!

I was wondering how you like your Hola, daisylynn. I bought one of their cases for my soprano, and it is very nice for the money.

I'm new to the forum, but I'd like to show off my baby if ya'll don't mind. Here's my Martin S1 w/ custom lutehole and Hilo strings. The lutehole dampens the sound enough not to aggravate the neighbors, plus I think it looks pretty good.
