Any Kepasa Fans?

[JDP]

Greetings! I have three Kepasa ukes, all three in the Hollywood style, crafted by Kevin Crossett. Do any of you play a Kepasa? I absolutely love mine!

I am not familiar with the brand, JDP. I did check out the website just now, and it looks like Kevin does some fine work indeed!

Kevin made a bespoke soprano for a friend of mine. It is a lovely instrument with a great sound.

I’ve always been a fan and have wanted a Madeira Soprano for a long time. Apparently he’s not taking orders at this time. Hope that’s a temporary thing.

You can try asking nicely!

Might as well. Kevin is a great guy!

I have played 3 different Kepasa ukes, a mahogany Josephine soprano, a spruce top Middlesex concert, and a Gypsy Rose (Selmer-Maccaferri style) tenor. All Very nicely built ukes with a quality sound. I’ve been eyeing his grand baritone ukes for a while. I hope Kevin is well and continues to build his wonderful ukes. Someday I’ve got to try a baritone of his, too.

I have a Kepasea Madeira that’s one of my keepers.

The one with the oval sound hole is called a Madeira. Baz recently did a review of a French Caravelle Kitchen Madeira with the same shape of sound hole. I knew nothing about that.

The Madeira looks to be like the early vintage ukes with a traditional round sound hole
