We were a bit trepidant about taking our <a href=\"https:\/\/moselele.co.uk\/?page_id=674\">Bambookuleles<\/a> out to meet the public. Over the last year lots of people we know have bought them and lots of people have bought them via the Internet but we&#8217;ve never had to stand in front of people and watch their reaction. We also had never done anything like run a stall at a festival so had no idea what were doing or how much stock to take.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately everyone we met was really friendly and spectacularly positive about what we&#8217;ve been doing to create a decent entry level uke. Some of the festival performers were really encouraging which reassured us that even people who know what they&#8217;re talking about can get a great sound out of a ukulele largely constructed from grass.<\/p>\n<p>We also got to talk to hundreds of people from groups all across the country to find out how they run things. We also learnt lots of random things like:-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The tax \u00a0structure of the Channel Islands<\/li>\n<li>Issues related to Ophthalmology<\/li>\n<li>Great gardens of Wednesbury<\/li>\n<li>The importance of the wolf tone<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We learnt a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly for us we sold everything we took with us which came as a complete surprise to us.<\/p>\n<p>We met a few people that sell uke related things that we reckon you&#8217;d all benefit from knowing about so we&#8217;re planning on putting some blog \u00a0posts together about them over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>A big thanks to the festival organisers and everyone who bought a Bambookulele off us or even just talked to us for a bit.<\/p>\n<p>Oh this is odd. We spent a weekend at a festival and didn&#8217;t see one act, we talked to some of them but didn&#8217;t see any play. We should probably try harder next time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We made it all the way up to Huddersfield this weekend for the Grand Northern Ukulele Festival and had a fantastic time.
