Is this the start of a little bit of UAS (Ukulele Acquisition Syndrome) for me? I’m now the proud owner of a second ukulele – a lovely little Lanikai Soprano TunaUke (pineapple) in Mahogany. I’ve had this uke for a few weeks now, so here’s my thoughts and a few pics too…
I have to admit I’ve been wanting to get my hands on an Octopus soprano ukulele to try out for quite a while now. Firstly because I’ve read good things about them (for the price) and secondly as I’m eventually going to do some custom artwork on a ukulele and it’s a likely candidate.
