Yesterday, while delaying the completion of my FINAL grad school application, I noticed the following gem in my friend, Megan Keely’s, gmail status.

xylocopa chicken banjolele banjo ukulele

A chicken banjolele!  Had I known that a chicken banjolele existed, I would have included it on my Christmas wishlist instead of the Gold Tone banjolele.  Oh, but wait my friends.  THE FUN DOESN’T STOP THERE…

A MOUSTACHE UKULELE!!!  I think my favorite might be the “Sad Cowboy.”  Or maybe the “Shirley Temple.”  Anyways, this discovery (xylocopa, moustache ukuleles, etc.) is very timely, because I recently noticed mini cracks in my ukulele.  Chicago is too dry for my little ukulele.  Anyways, the above creations are all by Xylocopa, a design studio in Tuscon, Arizona.  I recommend  that you wade through their site.  The Mad Scientists Alphabet Blocks are especially glorious.
