John,
It looks interesting. The web site claims that Daniel Ho liked the sound enough to use as a recording instrument. What type of wood was the one you saw made with? I may have to drive by Blue Guitar to check it out. Here is the web site:http://www.renaissanceguitars.com/ukulele.html |

I believe it was Maple and ebony (could be totaly wrong). Drop by, I'd give DeForest a call first to make sure it's still on display. I am seriously thinking of getting an D-Tar active pickup installed in my Tenor 4 string. Let us know what you thoughts are if you do check it out.

What does anyone think of the different 6-string tunings? I and some work friends recently acquired, through group ordering, several new Lanikai 6-strings (of the low-price range, laminated tops I believe), and they were all tuned with octave strings on the first and third, with a high G fourth. I picked up a set of low G strings from Mr. Kitakis in Wahiawa and they were tuned Double (identical) first and Octave third with a low G fourth. Loved the sound this way and I was very pleasantly surprised, reminded me of the 6-strings of old.
So why the change to the newer tuning? |
Regards and Aloha,
