The no-name "Hawaiian" was the first uke I ever played, taking me through those first few chords leading up to my first few shows. Lately, I've been playing my Lanikai because it's just so darn pretty. Hey, Julie.

In chronological order of acquirement: 1. A concert ukulele with, aside from the word "Hawaii" emblazoned on the body, no markings as to who made it. This was my official "starter" ukulele for Christmas, 2005. 2. An old, beat-up, not-in-playable condition concert ukulele my mother played in high school. Also picked up at Christmas, 2005. 3. A recent purchase, the Lanikai LU-21CEBK concert ukulele with Shadow electric pickup and a nice polished black finish. Purchased January, 2008. 4. A Johnson baritone ukulele I'll get to strumming on once I get it back from my sister. Picked up on Craigslist for a sweet $30 in January, 2008.

Pretty cool, thanks Julie. I like my archtop just fine. I don't have much to compare it to, it's definitely different than my old Sop.

My Kala Archtop Tenor showed up the same time that I found out I won, yesterday was the best Ukulele day ever. Thanks again Julie! You like me, you really, really like me :p

Never really wanted or intended to go. But with the SO winning a trip (yes, she won it for us!) and then getting caught up with UAS, I am EXCITED! The only scary part is that I have already mapped out a couple of uke luthiers to visit and am afraid that I am putting myself in a position to add to my UAS. :-) Julie: I was like you.

It probably will not be this year, but maybe next year for sure. Enjoy your new ukes! Solana: I had never really had the urge to visit Hawaii until now :) Now I really want to make the trip!
