A solid lacewood Kala travel ukulele, showings its suitability for travel. But not really convincing in terms of ability to operate a scooter.
In case you're wondering, I am still above ground. After several years of participating in fine art photography shows and selling enough prints to count on both hands with some fingers left over, I have shifted back to instrument building. These tenor ukes are currently nearing completion.
I've played a baratone uke for....oh, ever. It was smaller and easier to carry around than a guitar and less daunting....all those strings on the guitar! The songs of Peter, Paul and Mary, Joan Baez, Trini Lopez, Joni Mitchell, etc. were very "singable", so that's what I played. I still pull it out sometimes and make my fingers sore because the calluses are gone. My sister wrote my name and cut it out for me, and I decoupaged it on my uke using clear fingernail polish, coat after coat after coat. I thought it looked very Peter Max. She's very talented and artsy.
