Pre-order the Outdoor Ukulele!

 

I figured it was time for another post about the new Outdoor Ukulele, formerly known as the plastic ukulele on Kickstarter.  

As it turns out, these are going for a base price of $100 and you can order now!  Go to their website to pre-order.  These will be shipping out in just a couple weeks to those who get in on the pre-order.  Ship date is scheduled for April 22nd.  

You can even upgrade to Grover tuners and Aquila Strings if you wish for a little extra cash. 

As I've said in past posts, I'm really glad that this project has come to fruition.  Very interested in hearing more sound samples.  That first batch should provide us many clips on Youtube.

The Plastic Ukulele on Kickstarter

Maybe you saw this on Kickstarter in 2012 (check that link on the Kickstarter site for a sweet video with this uke).  The Plastic Ukulele!  Here's the scoop according the developer, Scott Seelye...

"The Plastic Ukulele will be 6 parts injection molded from polycarbonate, often referred to as bullet proof plastic and not affected by humidity or temperature changes. These parts are then assembled to create a very strong hollow structure with the internal volume and tone of a much larger instrument"
