  1. Kelly Jeanne,

    Saw one this weekend at a market in Seoul, S. Korea. I got the feeling you never can tell what’s going to pop up there…. we saw electric ukuleles, a Parker bass, and plastic clarinets. Definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in Seoul and you’re interested in instruments…. In the Insadong area at the Nagwon “Arcade”.

  3. Mike K,

    Very cool to see the craftsmanship involved. I was especially impressed when the guy cut the frets without measuring how far to space them out.

    Anyone know the reason they installed the pickups after stringing it?
