Once the design and materials met our exacting standards, we located an instrument manufacturer in China that could specially craft each Shima Ukulele while ensuring consistency, quality, and affordability. In order to maintain consistent quality, each ukulele is personally inspected by Jake or Bruce. This inspection involves tuning up each ukulele, checking the action of the strings, checking all frets for buzzes as well as making sure the intonation meets our quality standards.

I know that Jake Shimabukuro uses a custom Tenor I have in my possession a Kala KA-TG which looks quite a bit smaller than Jake's instrument even though its also advertised as a tenor Are there slight variations between tenors with size as well?
I'd like a larger instrument Rubbertoe New member. Joined May 2, Messages Points 0. I believe Jake might have an elongated neck someone correct me if I'm wrong but his uke is so tricked out that it can only be called a Jake-tenor.
You can buy a baritone and string it with gCEA strings Aquila makes bari strings in this tuning or you can buy the standard tuning along with the gCEA strings and swap the two g strings to get GCEA tuning. Is there any reason why they don't normally string them like the other ukes? I'm not sure. I think when the baritone was invented it was simply strung differently and much later, Aquila found that there was a demand for traditional C tuning for baris.

The idea of layering the tenor, soprano, and baritone ukuleles came from hanging out with [resonator guitar master] Jerry Douglas immediately prior to going into the studio. We were talking about octave pedals and he turned me onto the Electro-Harmonix Micro POG , which lets you layer octave sounds and play chords.
It gave me the idea to simulate the effect of the octave pedal, but by using real instruments, like the baritone to play the lower octave and the soprano to play a higher octave.
It sounds so beautiful, but what I did was tune it really high, sometimes a full octave higher than normal. My secret for being able to tune it so high was fishing line! I love fishing and I had pound test fishing line in my ukulele case, so I ended up using that for strings!
The strings were so thin it was hard to play. Tuning it up an entire octave was hard, so in a few places, I used a capo across a few strings to get that high, delicate sound. I loved the process of this record—the sound, the arrangements, and the compositions of this record. The thing that caught my ear, right from the get-go, was the reverb. They have this huge separate room with sheet metal plates and they run the signal through these long plates to get real reverb.
It sounded so smooth and made my ukulele sound so rich that I was really inspired to play. The next thing that caught my ears was the distortion sound.
