Michael Jones and his 12′ Ukulele
All the way from Australia comes this tale of one very large Ukulele.
According to the Fraser Coast Chronicle:
The proud owner of a 3.6m-long ukulele, Mr Jones stopped at the Hervey Bay Regional Gallery on Tuesday for a get-together with members of the local ukulele club before heading off to the Cairns Ukulele Festival which starts on July 1.
For those of us living in the States and elsewhere, 3.6 meters works out to about 11.8 feet! Now that’s a big Uke.
Jones, known as The Living Poet, told the paper that he built the Uke in two nights and taught himself how to play in three weeks.
So what size would that Uke be considered, an Uber-Baritone?
