Reçu aujourd'hui en provenance des USA, un Roy Smeck Vita Uke Harmony. Le design Art Déco au service d'un ukulele, et un instrument d'exception. Je mets des cordes Aquila et tente un Rockin' The Uke de Smeck que j'apprend en ce moment ! Le Vita est puissant, est très léger (300 g) et a une action très basse. Il est dans un "état de conservation" exceptionnel... Quant aux otaries, c'est cool, non ?

This is a performance by my Ukulele Instructor, Vincent Cortese. He was a student of Roy Smeck and studied with him for over 10 years. The Ukulele he is playing is an old Martin Style 1 that he bought from Roy. Its one of the loudest Martins I have ever heard. Check it out for yourself. Happy 4th everyone! ENJOY!

Recorded at the "Ukulele Noir 10," Feb. 4, 2006, at the Sky Bar, Somerville, MA.
Piqué cet après-midi à Vincent Cortese, élève et biographe de Roy Smeck... 2 heures d'exercice que je décide d'"immortaliser" ici... y'a encore du travail, mais ça c'est une autre histoire ! Merci à M. KDUS qui, hier, m'a donné envie de le jouer.
