| I visited Praiseland Music's site
again and found that it has been
updated-- still without pricing
info, but now has pictures of some
interesting-looking ukes. The
flying V- shaped tenor uke (UCV-
55) imediately caught my eyes. If
these ukes are built by the same
maker as Pono's and Jenny's (given
the similar apperances as
mentioned in some earlier posts),
I will be very intereted to know
how well they play and sound. The
web address is (remove space):

| Oops. The UCV-55 is a concert uke,
not tenor.

| Hey, thanks for the heads-up,
Human Uke. The flying Vs are an
interesting development, and the
guitars are on line as well
including a tenor with EQ. But
we at last have contact
information, so the mystery will
soon be solved. By golly,
Praiseland Music seems to be a
very impressive start-up
operation doesn't it?

| Curiouser and curiouser! I am
interested in the long scale
soprano (UK-150ML). This is
identical in pattern to a uke I own
that was manufactured by the
Yamaha owned Pearl River Piano in
China under the brand name Kapok.
It really is a versatile
instrument,with the string length
and tension adding power &
presence in the first position but
true soprano sound when playing up
the neck. Have any of you seen or
played a uke like this? I'd be
very interested in your thoughts
about this instrument, even if you
haven't.

| Hi Jeff - how's it going? I
believe KoAloha make one of these
soprano bodies with long necks
(fourteen frets clear) though I've
never played one. They always look
a little off balance to me, but
you're right: the sound is
impressive. Any feedback from
anyone on Praiseland yet? Are they
Bushman Jennies in disguise?

| Jeff and Uncle Rufus,
I have a Koaloha extended neck
soprano and like it a lot. The
balance is not a problem for me
but then I am not a good player. I
had a much better musician play it
last weekend and he said it
sounded was way better then his
uke. He liked the fact he could
work up and down the neck better
then his standard. The price is
pretty good too for a well made
all wood instrument.
