Today I went for a wander into the city to have a look around. My intention was to go to JB Hifi and pick up an Eee PC for my upcoming trip to NZNOG, but they were all sold out. So I figured I’d go window shopping down Cuba St.

I was about a block away from Real Groovy when I noticed Alistairs Music, and in the window were a lot of Ukuleles. So I went in and had a talk with them and came away with two Ukes – a basic Makala soprano in black for my friend Benny, and a Oscar Schmidt (by Washburn) OU2E. The E stands for electric – yes, my Uke has a pickup

Another friend’s soprano, my concert, and a standard guitar for comparison.

This is going to be fun
