COOL ANDY!
My color too!
How is it tuned? I'm DYING to try a Mondo one of these days, it's the ONLY thing on my CHRISTMAS list this year, a cheapie at that....so we'll see.
What made you decide on a Uke? It IS a Uke yes?

Ukes have been selling like mad at the store for about the past year. Great fun! How 'bout a little "Tiptoe Through The Tulips", Andy?

Yeah John, looking to have a bunch of fun!
So Tony, it's actually a tenor uke tuned from top string to bottom GCEA - the G string is tuned higher than the C
Joey, give me a break, I need a little time to learn this thing LOL!!!
I've been mainly playing my Martin HD28 for the last year and really enjoying it, so wanted to step out a little.. I've also been listening to George Harrison's CD Brain Washed which features the uke throughout. My fav song from that CD (at this time) is Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. Check it our on YT
