Much better music than I can make !

I was a vendor at a ukulele festival yesterday. Did not sell anything, but passed out a bunch of cards, and there may be some who will get back to me. (Most people were pretty local to Pennsylvania.) A fellow named Glen Hirabayashi from the Aloha Boys who was one of the instructors and performers came by and played a couple of my ukuleles. He really seemed to like them, he came back 3 times. Here are two videos, the beginning of a piece he played, and the end.  There actually two different instruments.  Both with casuarina back and sides and redwood tops, but one has a standard 17″ scale, and the other is a custom 19″ scale model. The 17″ scale instrument (the ‘beginning’) has a streaky redwood top, and the 19″ scale (the ending) has a clear curly redwood top. Glen played the same thing on both so one can compare the sound.

Glen Hirabayashi – begining

Glen Hirabayashi – end
