Groups

I've set up a couple of Google Groups, one just called Kiwifolk and another called NZ Ukulele. The former is essentially to replace the broken bulletin board that used to reside here on kiwifolk.com - it just wasn't robust enough but it was useful and well used, with album reviews, buying and selling instruments, announcements, tour info and lots more. I hope this group will get used for those things, but I'm not going to push it (at the time of writing, I am the only member!): too many initiatives, too quickly. I'm sure it'll find it's level as people find it.
The NZ Ukulele group is for the burgeoning uke community, especially for those using it in schools where it is becoming increasingly popular.

Stolen DS Bouzouki

Mike Mackinnon

I had a Bouzouki made by Davy Stuart, stolen form my house yesterday. There can't be that manyDavy Stuart Bouzoukis coming onto the 2nd hand market !! I would really appreciate your assistance. Many Thanks Mike Mackinnon.

Details of the instrument stolen from Mike Mackinnon, in New Lynn Auckland, 5th of November 2007:

• Bouzouki made by Davy Stuart.


• ZB8 model, 24" scale length. Mahogany neck, back and sides, spruce front, rosewood fingerboard, maple bindings.


• Slightly unusual in that the scale length is about an inch and a bit shorter than Davy's 'standard'.


• The gray label inside has Davy Stuart's name and address (at the time) 141 England Street, Christchurch and will be signed with the date (probably).


• 5/02 and a note of the string guages 45, 32, 17, 13.

I've put more pictures on my web site at http://lpnz.org so you can see
what it looks like.
