Members masterbuilt Posted January 24, 2011 Members Share Posted January 24, 2011 Ah, Anuenue uke. I have to get back to them about some reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stackabones Posted January 24, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 24, 2011 Yeah, I see them popping up more frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Terry Allan Hall Posted January 25, 2011 Members Share Posted January 25, 2011 There's a guy who occasionally plays at the open-mic I used to co-host (lost our venue, searching for a new one) who built a solid-bodied a/e harp-uke that has a seperate UST for the 7-string harp part...he runs that UST into an octave divider, thus giving a nice bass line to his finger picking. Several of us have requested that he put up a Youtube video or two (particularily his version of Somewhere My Love), but I don't know if he has yet...his name is Dylan McAlester and it'd be worth the trouble to check, from time to time.

Members EllenGtrGrl Posted January 25, 2011 Members Share Posted January 25, 2011 VERY cool! I like harp guitars (in spite of them costing more than I can afford), and this might be fun to play. Did you notice how it kind of looks like a mini Dyer harp guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Starrshine Posted January 25, 2011 Members Share Posted January 25, 2011 There is a folk music store, The Claremont Folk Music Center, that I go to every once and awhile that had one in there store. It was cool but a little too much for my tastes. The bridge was shaped like a dolphin and there were other dolphins all over it. They wanted $5000 for it!

Members Neal Posted January 25, 2011 Members Share Posted January 25, 2011 Check here for a revue at Uke Hunt (what a name..) http://ukulelehunt.com/2011/01/21/anuenue-harp-ukulele-window-shopping/ Al says probably in the 1000 dollar range, not too bad. I kinda like it. Pete Howlett is a fine luthier, I'm not sure how much input he has in this, if it's his design or if he's over seeing production. I can't imagine he'd be making them for that price. Here's another harp uke in action, but without the bass strings, an old Knutsen. [video=youtube;kA75EJYBzS4] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Neal Posted January 25, 2011 Members Share Posted January 25, 2011 And Pete himself with his own. You'll notice the difference in sound.

Members GuitarVlog Posted January 25, 2011 Members Share Posted January 25, 2011 I get the impression that, deep down inside, ukulele players who would buy this really want a guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Apple Slim Posted January 26, 2011 Members Share Posted January 26, 2011 Those look very cool for fingerstyle pieces on uke.I'm having a blast with my AnueNue long neck soprano, course I'm just a guitar hack goofin...This is the AnueNue mahogany laminated model. I got it for about $150 around Christmas.[video=youtube;y-1tuKwQKAM] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gitnoob Posted January 26, 2011 Members Share Posted January 26, 2011 I get the impression that, deep down inside, ukulele players who would buy this really want a guitar. That's sort of what got me interested in vintage parlor guitars. I liked the idea of a small instrument, and the parlors were less expensive and sounded better to me than ukes. Some of them only weigh a couple of pounds, so I can carry it around and chase people with it while I try to serenade them. One of them was even strung for Nashville tuning, so you could probably play in an uke's frequency range if you wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
