Check out this ukulele. It's made by the same custom luthier that made my baritone. Look at the fretboard inlays, and MAN what a cool halloween bridge. Duane Heilman is the builder and he dones some amazing artistic things. Dave

how appropriate for the halloween theme, it's a banjo, ergo it's the work of the Devil

Nice inlays. I like the skull. Probably took a lot of time.

No, I'm staying away from holiday specific instruments. If the Duane baritone lives up to expectations (how could it not), I would love to commission him to build a matching concert size for me. Yeah, 3rd mortgage might not be too far fetched of an idea right about now.

I must point out...

...notice the floating bridge on the Banjuke...not unlike regular banjos

and similar to Ced's traditional uke...

A banjouke (and a banjo) has to have a floating bridge, otherwise you could not change the head. Everyone I have ever know with a banjo or banjouke has drawn a little mark in sharpie on the head to indicate where the brige has to go. Btw, I know the guy who bought this halloween banjouke. He's only slightly more crazy abut all things ukulele than I am. Dave

You know what is really horrible?

I missed the fact that this guy was playing in town this last weekend. Had a Co-worker tell me about this extraordinary Uke Player and I was "I missed it"!

Jake

Its just horrible!

I've only seen him on DVD but I have two CDs and all I can say is that once you see/hear him, you will never think the same about a ukulele again.
