Kala Pocket Ukulele
Posted By Peter on January 17, 2010
I’m in the airport on my way back from the NAMM show. I feel very lucky that Mike Upton, the owner of Kala ukulele, gave me my very own Kala Pocket Ukulele (with my name inscribed on it no less) at the NAMM show. When I first saw it, I thought it was a joke. I thought sopranos were tiny, but this thing is on a whole different level. Pocket Uke? I’m calling it my PUKE. I’m excited to have it while I wait an hour for the flight to board. I hope people around me don’t get too irritated at the two songs that I know. Yep. You can really play this thing. It takes a little getting used to because it is so small that you can’t cradle it under you arm, but it is a lot of fun, and I am surprised how much sound it has for such a small size. The intonation is on too. We will be carrying them in the store soon. This uke is a chick magnet. I’ve gotten a lot of smiles and comments from the ladies as I sit here… Thanks Mike!
