Kala Curly Mango Soprano

[Spottdrossel]

Hi gang,

Just received my \"Kala Curly Mango Soprano\" from RISA (Rigk und Roll\'s place).  I also got the pick-up installed.

I\'m really impressed since I\'m mainly a PONO soprano man.  It\'s way better than the Mainland Red Cedar Uke I bought a week or two ago here in Canada in Ottawa.  I should have waited and saved \"mein Geld\".  Vnm!   Anyway, the KALA was a very sweet surprise to my ears and fingers.

Notes:  Intonation is almost perfect; white gut strings sound great (usually I hate them en masse!); and the playing action is great.  I only wish it had 14 frets.  I don\'t need 12... only 14!  hehe   I\'m glad that the tuners \"HAVE EARS\" as Doctor Dick describes them. Great purchase!  

I will record for Youtube this weekend my song about the girl who died \"ghost hunting at the University of Toronto\" last Fall!  http://www.thestar.com/News/GTA/article/693495

It\'s an original song called \"Raise a Toast to this Ghost.\"  The German version could be \"Raise a PROST to this ghost!\"  hehe



Tschüs!

Welcome to UKES WITH EARS !

I think we should call the other kind \"Plain Ukulele\". Or short, PUKE  :twisted:

\"Uns Uwe\" (Ukes with ears) is way better!

@doctor dick: You came up with the best expression!  hehe   Funny, since the KALA soprano gold \"ears\" are quite big!  1.5 x the PONO silvery ones!   The real question is now à la Pinocchio... if a ukulele player tells a lie or plays a wrong note, will the EARS on his uke grow?!  hehe

@WS64: re:  \"Puke\"  hehehe...

As a doctor (sort of) I know that the ears of a uke, if the player tells a lie, will shrink because he or she doesn\'t want to hear it !

Oh boy I saw the ears of all my ukes suddenly shrink to........................... pukes !  :mrgreen:
