Excellent stuff! Thanks Dennis, a great find. Great to hear somebody doing something you don't expect, I was expecting that typical Uke plinky plunk but using the foot pedal gave the instrument a whole new dimension. :cl :cl

Nice to hear in church but not in a Mexican prison.

Thanks Dennis, I enjoyed the clip, but am left wondering if you want your uke

Fits in airline overhead bin?

But really, to me this just shown the breadth of the little instrument. (Shown best on a song concentrating on upper midrange and treble notes.)
