Thanks Guys Yes the do Hicky on the head of the Uku is a `Awa shell I found it while walking the beach with Nancy Lake. Oh what memories. I would love to go back to camp some day the savings accout has started but it is slow due to the want of a new Ukulele. Any way that is the reason for the name of my ululele Pupu `Awa. I have decided to wait till I arrive on Island and go see Dennis over in Hilo I LOVE that city anyway so that will be a great excuse. Unless I see a deal that I just can not pass up. Since I really am a strummer I am considering the 6 string. Thanks for all of the advice I NEED all the help I can get.
