In Honolulu weekend of 21 - 23 November 2008? Check this out. I went in 2004 & 2005. Learn how to "see" chords the I, IV, V way; how to judge good vs not-so-good koa wood; new "models" (Kamaka's debut of their baritone); heard Hill, King, Chong, Paiva, etc. Check out the BEAUTIFUL nouveau designs!
This is where the player can communicate with the builder as to what the player wants in an ukulele. While dea, bargain with the Kamaka braddahs (Ha! If you can!).
