This is a lovely arrangement of an Elvis classic played by Tomoko Suzuki on a beautiful instrument made by luthier Shinji Takahashi. Find more of Shinji's work on his website or by following him on Facebook!
While the Facebook posts are usually in Japanese, there's plenty of great photos of the luscious ukuleles he builds. ENJOY! |
When it comes to the ukulele, outside of Hawaii Japan is where you can find some of the best arrangers, composers, performers, and instructional materials! I'm an amatuer ukulele player who happens to be fluent in Japanese. For many years Japanese have kept their passion for the ukulele burning strongly and not surprisingly, some of the best instructional material, performers (pros and amateurs), and instruments can be found there. Now you can find it here!
