Have two recent things to let everyone know about:

(1) The guy I bought my uke from (Mr. Kaota Puna) in New Zealand has put up some instructional YouTube videos. You can check them out at:

http://www.youtube.com/user/kanua8

You can see his website at:

http://www.kanua.com/

(2) A friend of mine has starting building a selling Tahitian ukes. They are somewhat difficult to find especially locally in the US. You can see one he has up on E-bay now.

He does basic and custom ukes. If you would like to contact him (Glenn) his E-mail is:

that design in the video is sick...

i prefer the more traditional designs that he has on his website though...

the sound is sure pretty..

I wonder if he has a second microhphone on his lap behind the uke...

it sounds sweet

whats the wood he uses for the body? and what is the wood for the resonance plate?

and what kine stren he use? kk

you should be able to pick them up at the San Jose Tahiti Fete, along with to'eles and fa'atetes and maybe even a pahu
