Fantastic Christmas Season, new models coming

Wow! I'm sorry to those people who realized that I had to raise the price of the TinCan Uke - but, yes, you bought it anyway and I know you know it's worth every penny.
   I promise (for this year anyway) that I will not raise the price of the acoustic 17" TinCan Uke anymore. What happened is that I am selling out again and have little money left over to show for it and am working 14hrs a day, 7 days a week to keep up.
It's not about getting rich: I have little desire to be a rich man (in terms of $$! I am already a rich man in the other important areas!) - but neither do I want to be a slave. So the price, really, is a happy balance between financial security and satisfying my market. I want everyone who wants one of my instruments to have one - within reason. I have bartered, given away and offered discounts to younger and older, needier folk - but the bottom line is also that I need time with my family and I need to pay the bills too.
I hope you understand.
Looking forward to donating some prototypes with the Sunk'n City Gypsies this year: this upstart Toronto punk/grassroots band have promised to put the new single coil acoustic/electric Ukes + Banjo's on the road and rock the new 6-string Mastro-caster humbucker. Right On!!
Just let me develop them first. Starting Monday. Stay tuned.
