Location: Phoenix AZ | LIMITED TIME OPPORTUNITY
Take advantage of this limit time offer to obtain a rare collectable momento from the recent OFC TOUR 2007.
VINCI CONCERT UKULELE (details below) ... $47.
DELUXE GIG BAG & SHIPPING TO YOUR USA DOOR ... FREE
KNOWING THAT YOUR UKULELE WAS GENTLY USED BY YOUR OFC BROTHERS AT THE OFC TOUR UKULELE WORKSHOP ... PRICELESS
This offer will be limited to only 12 rare pieces. These ukuleles have been blessed with OFC MOJO. They are concert size, which is a good transition for guitar players. Solidly built and well set up. You won't confuse these with a thousand dollar Martin uke, but as a starter for the money they are damn good. Realistically in your local shop they'd sell for about $75. They have been very gently used for the workshop only.
Your concert size ukulele in gig bag and original box will arrive to your USA front door strung and setup by a ukulele faux-professional. As an added bonus you will receive a copy of the OFC UKULELE WORKSHOP lecture notes professionally printed on high quality paper and personally autographed by the instructor.
ACT NOW. This is a limited time offer. With $47. in hand (check or PayPal), contact me asap by email or PM. Once these rare pieces are gone, they're (duh) gone.
Dave
PS - Your satisfaction is sort of gauranteed. If for some reason you totally hate this Vinci concert ukulele you can strip it down and sell the tuners for $15. on ebay, the gig bag for $10, and offer up the remaining bits as a "project" to the highest bidder. You'd probably come out cash positive. |

PM sent, Trboy looks like he was having way too much fun with his. He may have to give us lessons at the Southern OFC Jam in Asheville. Hmmm...wonder if Lanaki can play one of these?

Everyone claims to hates banjos...
But somehow Ukuleles have become cool with the O'cultists...
Have I become victim of a conspiracy or a psychology experiment?
I know that YouTube thread with Jake (however you spell his name) had alot to do with my interest. |

"Ukulele" is associated with bronzed hawaiian woman in bikini tops and grass skirts walking along white sandy beaches.
"Banjo" is associated with Deliverence and moonshine. Don't get me wrong, I'd be the last one to turn down a good swig of 'shine.

I am in awe!
Also, I like banjoes. I also enjoy banjo jokes. It really just comes down to sharing music with your friends. |

(Poof! It's gone!)
And congratulations on your forethought. Bet you were wondering what you were gonna do with a dozen matching Ukes... :confused:
Maybe not, every problem presents it's own solution :rolleyes: |

"Arthur, you got another package... But it ain't another guitar."
"No, but close. It's a Ukulele."
This chick in the lobby goes "What's a Ukulele?"
AND SHE WAS SERIOUS!!
This is another reason that I hafta learn how to play this thing... Something Good too!
Just so I can show her what a Ukulele is.
[she lives up the hall from me, and actually thinks that I sound good on the guitar!?!]
Don't fret Jim, yours can't be far behind. |

The plan is to teach Littleman some simple uke songs as an alternative to that evil Cartoon Network and various video games (even if they are age appropriate).
THANKS! |

My son, the aspiring shredder, was facinated with it, especially the tuning. It was entertaining watching him trying to play Iron Maiden on a uke. |

Location: Tennessee | Dave ... I know the uke has made it to casa bobbo. I, on the other hand, have not been there for a while so it'll be the weekend before I can irritate those who make my home what it is. When I asked what it looked like, I got "it's cute". Since #6 should be there as well when I get home, it's going to be a real dilemma deciding which one to play first. Seriously. |

I have changed over to the Aquila strings, filed the nut, reglued the rising bridge and oiled the entire Uke.
I like it!
I am working out some of the fat finger issues but it is very addictive to pick up and play.
I must fight the urge to upgrade (@#%&*! Witko)! |

You get a nice little Ukulele... And the first thing you do is Take It Apart.
That's the Luthier-testosterone-Shadetree Mechanic instinct!

The OP 24 is way too long and the OP-Pro has an oval shape that doesn't fit the contour.
This is an obvious application for the Schaller sticky dot...
...what problem? |
