I need to make a decision by July. I may go with a Cordoba 15TM and hope for the best. The tenor Outdoor Ukuleles would be my first choice but they are out of stock.

Hot car and all, wood, glue... best of luck, that's a tough one. Maybe keep some sunshades on the windows?
It's the glue that's the buzzkill. I remember leaving my Guild D-66 in it's case in the car on a 75-80 day, all day. It needed attention..badly. This was 25 or so years ago, but the action was about an inch high. I never did that again. |

Put that wrapped up inside a sleeping bag and leave the whole deal in the trunk, out of direct sun. Leave the windows cracked to help minimize the build-up of heat gain inside the cabin. Park in the shade if you can. Try to take the uke out the open air as often as possible when you can to let it cool off and dissipate heat before it gets truly heat-soaked and softens the glue. This would give the best odds of survival, IMHO. Good luck! Last edited by Earl49; 06-01-2017 at 02:20 PM. Reason: tpyos |

No Mike, I did mean the trunk. I disagree that it is the hottest place. Being out of direct sunlight helps a lot, even though there is no air flow in the trunk. Cracking the windows limits how hot the cabin can get (~140° closed versus only about 120-125° with some air exchange). That extra heat will eventually percolate or soak into the trunk, so cracking some windows is important. Dropping to 125° could make the difference between a glue joint letting go - or not.
We don't really know from the OP how long he intends to let it sit in the hot car, whether he has a white or black car, if it is feasible for him to park in the shade regularly, or even what part of the country he is in (just how bad the problem could be). |

Hot enough to get a temperature warning screen on an i phone.

They sound different also they sound good. Conservatives should sit and listen before they make judgements, outdoors is a great and strong instrument. The sound is very good for ragtime stuff methinks.

Follow up
Based on a recommendation from a ukulele player at my wife's office, I ordered a Snail Mahogany Tenor Ukulele from Antonio Violins in OH. Great quality and tone along with customer service.

Can we please not make this political? This is about Ukuleles!

You're kidding, right? Conservative isn't always a political term. In this case, it sounds to me like it represented people set in their wood only ways.

I figured he was. In fact, I laughed so hard when I read his post that I sprayed a liberal amount of coffee all over my keyboard!

Also keep in mind that Finn is in Norway. He probably speaks better English than most of us in the USA, as many Europeans do, but that background may have influenced his choice of words. Don't read too much into it. Maybe "traditionalists" would have been a better choice.
