Genesis of the Pineapple

I'd like to do a longer post soon on the Pineapple Ukulele, which was the first breakthrough alternative ukulele--the first non-guitar-shaped uke to gain a degree of acceptance with uke players, and over time became something like a secondary standard type of uke.  Right now Id like to share an excellent video of a talk by old Mr. Kamaka, the son of the founder of the Kamaka ukulele firm, telling about his father came up with the Pineapple design.  It's a great story in the annals of ukule innovation.  Here's the link (with the part about the Pineapple starting at about minute 6):

I hope you enjoy it!

NOTE:  The picture above is not an original Kamaka, but one of many copies of the Kamaka design.  I don't think Kamaka ever put the pineappe-ish decoration on their ukulele.
