The Snailele ukulele is one of the most creative instruments I have seen in some time. The Snailele is designed to look like a snail and sound like a ukulele. A strange combination indeed.
I am one of those people who thinks that a regular ukulele looks cool, so needless to say I was blown away by the Snailele ukulele. The Snailele is made to order and will only set you back $800. If I had a musical bone in my body I'd be all over the Snailele ukulele in a heartbeat.
