Hulu Hulu Tenor Ukulele

A renewed interest in my Hula Hips Ukulele.  Now the Hawaiian Ukulele pattern that I developed about 15 years ago is attracting attention.  Mark ordered this lovely instrument with specific requests:

  • Curly Claro Walnut
  • Northwest Red Cedar Sound Board
  • Light Curly Koa Binding
  • Koa Neck
  • Guitar Style Head Stock
  • Low “G” tuning
  • Radiused Fret Board

I rarely get excited, but this instrument did strike a bell with me.   The volume and projection of this instrument caught my ear immediately and did bring a smile to both myself and Mark.  His comments: ” … I can’t get over how this uke sounds.”  “…NO sign of dead or weak notes at any frets.”  “…HUGE sound…”  I couldn’t agree more.  I almost didn’t have to touch the strings to make it sing!
