Watched that one yesterday too John. It sure looks like the Koa uke he had with him in Cairns. Got to have a good look at it and a bit of a strum. It's a really lovely instrument as you'd expect.

I reckon you're spot on, Allen. I got to see the tenor uke at workshops in Cairns and couldn't take my eyes off it ... it oozes creativity! The man's a true innovator.

Have you caught this vid posted on Facebook? It's Aldrine from UU and Matt Dahlberg (who has only turned 21 years of age and is destined for greatness - he also played Cairns) jammin' it up in their hotel after NAMM 2011:
