YOU WILL NEVER HAVE ANOTHER LIKE ME

That is what it sang as it was carried out the door. That Kasha tenor made of the wildest, craziest piece of Cocobolo I have ever seen sang in its deep and mellow voice.

But it found a happy home, and here is its happy new owner, George W. who drove up from Puyallup to claim it.

Enjoy it George, I doubt I will ever find another piece of wood like that. George is a player and he will enjoy playing the Kasha and its Torrified soundboard into it's maturity.

It's a beauty, Brian! Thanks for all the care you put into making it. I'll take special care of it. It's amazing that you can make these beautiful instruments at such a reasonable price. Where else could I find a custom tenor for $100. Just amazing!

Welcome to the Griffin Uke Family George! I've owned 6 Griffins and have 3 remaining that'll never leave the family instrument vault.

I've seen and played most of Brians ukes since I bought his #5. Your Kasha is one of the best sounding and most beautiful I've played or seen. You are indeed one lucky man and trust this will not be your last Griffin.

Thanks Patrick (my middle name, by the way), this is my second Griffin masterpiece. I also have 'ol #64, a nice Pinecone. I, of course, was joshing the 'ol curmudgeon about the price. He's gonna try to get even on the next one--I just know it! Ya know, he did a kind of bait and switch on me. I wanted the Bocote one! But, I hardly consider this Cocobolo second fiddle! Oooo, was that some sort of a weird backhanded pun? Nevertheless, I've been a Griffin fan for three years now. If he keeps treating me right, I might remain so for another year!

Hi Chad,
Yes, it is indeed a beauty! And sounds as good as it looks. Once I get all the imperfections worked out, it'll even be better! Now, don't go blabbin' to Brian--don't be ratting me out! He's got a mean streak ya know. The only thing more fun than this uke is Brian himself!

Chad, don't listen to George, besides he is being deported to Mexico Wednesday morning. He will be out of our hair for a few weeks anyway. I hope he doesnt take that Cocobolo uke with him, The wood came from Mexico originally but they might not let him cross the border with it again.
