Members Jim Sallis Posted August 14, 2011 Members Share Posted August 14, 2011 Very nice -- thanks. Just a quick note that the correct pronunciation is tip-lay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members masterbuilt Posted August 14, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 14, 2011 Very nice -- thanks. Just a quick note that the correct pronunciation is tip-lay. I know that the Latin-American pronunciation is tee-play, but Martin called it the "tipple", according to their company historian. I took the time to research the pronunciation before making the video. One thing I found that was interesting was in different Latin-American countries the string count runs from three at the low-end to twelve. Colombians seem to favor the twelve-string. I found one virtuoso player of a three-string that was incredible. It surprised me just how much sound he could produce on that pint-sized three-stringer.

Members Jim Sallis Posted August 14, 2011 Members Share Posted August 14, 2011 Thanks. I wasn't being pedantic, just thought folks might be interested. As you say, the sound these little guys put out is amazing. Chime, jangle, and punch -- all in a small package. And a great sideways jump for a guitarist. Any word on when these will be available? I'll be at the front of the line. Played a Martin years and years ago, have wanted another for a long time now. While I'm at it, thank you for Ukulele Player Magazine.

Members masterbuilt Posted August 14, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 14, 2011 Thanks, Jim. I don't know when the retail channel will have the tiple available. I am going to get with Louis Wu of Ohana Ukulele on that question and the MSRP in an e-mail later today (Sunday). Louis sometimes answers messages on Sunday, but I might not have a response until Monday. Mickey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Terry Allan Hall Posted August 14, 2011 Members Share Posted August 14, 2011 You had me at the first strum...the Ohana sounds every bit as good as the Martin I got to play many years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sangemon Posted August 14, 2011 Members Share Posted August 14, 2011 That sounds great, I want one. I just bought my first Uke. It was made by Tim Teel who designs new guitar models for Martin. He makes really nice Ukes on the side and he a booth at MartinFest last weekend. I bought one of his Concerts and I'm digging learning to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members masterbuilt Posted August 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 I'll be making a comparison video of the two tunings and posting it within the week. That way, you can hear the difference between "D" and "C" tuning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
