wal-mart.. haha true..

You have a trademark on it? getting serious huh? The bad thing is that
ukulele players are used to a nice custom "normal" ukulele costing under
$1000. One of the hottest guys in the uke making business is A guy
named dave Means. www.glyphukulele.com he makes great ukes and
the prices are jaw dropping considering what we guitar makers are used
to. I can't always find a buyer for my ukes right away, although I've been
lucky and most of them sell quick but my prices are way up there in terms
of ukes and I'm normally getting $1100-$1700 for them.

Sure is a cool looking uke...

John,

I seem to remember an article somewhere about a guy who made a pineapple-shaped uke as a lark, and now he can't build 'em fast enough to meet the demand!

Don...if you're feeling generous, that's just the kind of item that goes over big at the ASIA auction. I bet Rick would love it!

oh yeah ukes are getting very popular again in the states. They always
have been in the islands, but the prices just are not very high...

And yeah pineapple ukes have been around for a LONG time.... they are
cool, but I don't like em that much.

As a side note to this, here is a website that teaches you how to play several Beatles songs on an uke
