Takumi Brand - Sumi Kobo & TODA Ukuleles @ NAMM 2019

Alex & Phil went hunting for Ukuleles at the 2019 NAMM show in California. Here is a look at four of the Ukuleles we chose on day 1 of the show.

I’m betting you’ve got the TODA sold before you get home. 👍🏻😊👍🏻
For all of us only wishing we could attend, thank you for the updates. Amazing new ukuleles! Wes

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

Cheers Wes! I think the Toda will last a few days. Will be doing a better video of it when it arrives.

That Toda with the wood inlay on the front is beyond gorgeous!

[@MrsDallimore08]

Hi Alex, on the video when talking about the Toda Ukelele, which make model is to the right. It’s gorgeous

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

I had a look at the video - I think the uke you are asking about is a Naturel Ukulele. They are made by Naoki Yoshiro

[@ederkis]

Lovin the vids

[@Teeum5]

I am very interested in the TODA. What will the price be roundabout?

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

I’m afraid I can’t confirm that until early next week. Please do send me an email at [e-mail] and I will be sure to let you know as soon as I can.

Will you be seeing Maestro?

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

Audrey Layhoon Giam we did see Maestro - I don’t think I had enough footage to feature them in a video but they had some excellent florentine cutaway Tenors with them and an 8 string that really impressed us.

[@audreygiamlayhoon]

@@SouthernUkuleleStore would have loved to see those. Maestros are so well built

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

I’m sure Hawaii Music supply or gute ukulele will show them off. We physically didn’t have the time or means to cover everything. They were very good, especially the 8 string

[@mangoman5236]

Yes Look up too Andreas David in youtube, hes a big Fan of Maestro

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

Andreas has been doing Maestro for a long time - I would be shocked if he didn’t see them for an interview.

[@audreygiamlayhoon]

They're almost too pretty to play!

[@haroldrull4943]

I don’t know if it is the guy who’s playing the ukulele or the ukulele itself that don’t sound that good. How about giving an idea about the price range?

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

These Ukuleles are £2500-£4000. Guess they just aren’t for you... they were filmed at a ridiculously loud show with a dynamic mic.
We do proper videos and audio when we have them at the shop, it would
be interesting to hear if you still feel the same. even so, maybe you just don’t like them, which is fine.

[@haroldrull4943]

I’m using mostly Martin brand acoustics, not picky but how good is a sound meant to you or you just basically wants business...

[@SouthernUkuleleStore]

I thought they sounded good or I wouldn’t have chosen them over the other 15-20 Ukuleles at that table.

[@KommammoK]

You just made up a nice baseline for Martin@@haroldrull4943
