Sunburst Mahalo

Posted by Richard Irwin (Belper, United Kingdom) on 20 June 2009 in Lifestyle & Culture.

I'm out today at the London Ukulele Festival. Hoping to be a part of the World Record attempt for the number of Ukes all playing the same song.
This close up bit of a Uke is my Mahalo electric acoustic Tele style Sunburst styled Ukulele, which I'm taking to the festival.

Good luck! 'Sunburst' is an appropriate name for this colourful ukulele. A strong, solid image.

@Anthony Morgan Lambert: Thanks, but my playing is as bad as my singing and 'not for those with finely tuned ears' but I can manage a few songs if the listeners (and me) are already drunk before I start.....LOL

I've never seen a tele style uke...how cool! Have a great time. Fantastic image too...the color and dof are spot on.

Excellent detail. Sounds like fun. Are you serious that this is an "electric" uke?

20 Jun 2009 3:39pm

@jeff (aka dogilicious): Thanks, its a electric-acoustic, with a pick up inside. I mostly play it un-amped, but sometimes its fun to plug it in and annoy the neighborhood.

Just saw the festival on the news! Who knows, maybe I saw you in the crowd shot there..? Congrats on beating the world record! Looked like quite the day...

@Daryl Johnson: Thanks Daryl, it was a 'blast' to take part in, and I had a great day. Where did you see it reported, I missed the news as I travelled back up north all evening
