From the owner of Tenor Ukulele #15
Hey Howard,
I am having such a great time with my new Ebi Ukulele! I rehearse
with a local ukulele group twice a week. The first time I played my
tenor with the group, they all marveled at the gorgeous woods it’s
made of, the workmanship, the detail, and the beautiful sound. There
is no other ukulele in the room that comes near the amazing sweet
sound of my Ebi Ukulele. So, I am in Ukulele Heaven!
As a singer songwriter and playing guitar for years, the ukulele has
now become the first instrument I pick up if I want to try something
new with a song, or try a new song, or just play a few songs when I
have a few moments free. YEAH… I’m really loving’ it! Thanks for a
beautiful instrument!!!
