Interview w/ plastic ukulele collector Antoine Carolus


Antoine Carolus is a man that is slightly obsessed.  That's not always a bad thing though!  Especially in the ukulele world.  The above picture is his personal collection of plastic ukuleles...all 65 of 'em.  This obsession prompted him to create the website www.ChordMaster.org  
The site serves as a personal nirvana for those who love plastic ukes.  If you are interested in info about any plastic uke that you've seen or acquired, chances are excellent that you'll find it there.
