| How many Longworth ukes are floating around out there? Any Longworth owners here? I had the opportunity to play one once,not only did it sound great but it was beautiful too. |

| He's certainly passed on his knowledge from time to time (slaps thighs and hollers with uproarious mirth). Still very much with us.

| No he hasn't "passed on". But if you compare how much he used to post here to how much he posts now, you'll understand what I mean.

| Wonder if this thread is still active? I recently acquired a Longworth ukulele. It is marked as #17, build in Oct 2000. Dave, I couldn't find the ultimate ukulele collection website ... is it down?

| This is Ernest Longworth Mike's Brother. I have one of Mikes ukuleles Mike called it the walnut. It's nice to see people still remember the great craftsman He was along with being a fine person and the best brother anyone could have. I wish I could play it,but Mike got all the talent in the family. I really do miss him. Ernest

| It appears that Daves' ultimate collection site has been aquired by domain scalpers.
