If you like to see beautiful instruments, be sure to scroll thru Mike DaSilva's photos. My concert Koa is in the photos as #197. Mike makes many fine reproductions from ca. 1890 ukuleles that are amazing and some of the in-lay work is fantastic as well. If you like candy... click below and scroll down.
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 much fun is that! Yes, Mike makes great ukes. I had the opportunity to build a ukulele at Mike's and learn under his coaching. What a great week that was for me! Hope to hear how you liked the workshop. UP
ReplyDeleteTell Mike to send some photos to ukepics.com, Jeff. A thousand uke photos and the last time I looked not one DaSilva.
