Wendy did a paint job on the back of an old Harmony ukulele a couple of years ago. She casts, cleans, paints and fires ceramics as nearly a full time job. She had painted some gourd shapes with this flower and I asked her to paint one on this uke too. It really stood out on the black background. Does anybody out there know the person that has this uke now? I sold it on eBay quite a while ago.
I wanted to create this blog as a place where I can store and retrieve information for future reference. I chose the name Humble Uker Ramblings because I have started out strumming my father's 1950's painted Harmony ukulele. I think that the greatest appeal of the ukulele as "the people's instrument" is it's humble simplicity. My contact email is HumbleUker@gmail.com. I have also been working on a blog for the Baritone Ukulele called Humble Baritonics.
how could you part with it?? It is so very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI loved the little black uke with red strings but my fingers were less dexterious and I was looking for the magical ukulele that would magically fit my fingers and let me play 10 times better. Foolish uker! HU
