I'm looking for, at least, a solid top bari for a recording. One with a pickup is a plus. I'll definitely use a couple of mics, too, but I always record the DI out for an "attack" in the mix. I've been happy with the Kala all solid tenor with a cedar top for the other uke-centric recording...

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for tuning keys for Concert with black knob. I need to upgrade the keys on my Breedlove Concert. I have already upgraded them slightly, but they're not as precise as I need for recording. Any recommendations would be appreciated! Thanks, Tim

Thanks! Keep them coming. What software do you use to map out the songs? Could you upload one in its original file type so we could use it as a template?

In the attached pix, I'm having great luck with the 3 multicolored picks on Uke. The solid green Dava has been around, I, personally, don't like it for anything. Let me know if anyone else buys the multicolored Davas and like them on Uke. Jan D, weird also my wife's name and initial! I repped...

I just picked up some of these..... https://www.davapick.com/picks I did some playing and recording with them on Sop and Concert Uke and they're the first picks that I've used on Uke that aren't too "Attacky" sounding. Anyone tried them?

I bought a from GC the other day. I really like it. It's a solid top Concert that I think sounds really good. The setup was good, but I lowered the action anyway. I've never been a sunburst fan, but I think this is a very nice sunburst. I went by the Breedlove booth an NAMM and they said the...

Going on a trip, so I broke down and bought a Kala KA-SSTU. I'll be limited on room. This should still fit in my backpack.

I'll be there....I'm local! One of my dealers will have a booth and I'll be doing some Recording 101 workshops, for sure. I may also do something on sound reinforcement and possibly wireless mics.

I've got to say, I'm loving this thing! It's amazing how much sound this small body instrument puts out acoustically. Also, the string tension is great. In fact, I thought I'd need to do a major set-up on this, but the string tension really makes higher action a non-factor! I hate to keep...

Help please.... I'm considering buying either a Tiple or an 8 String uke. It would be used as a rhythm instrument (strummed) most all of the time. Occasionally, I'd probably play arpeggios (coming from the Peter Buck school of guitar playing). I do want more of a full guitar like sound. My...

I think it's a steel string. I thought it was cool too and got several more pix. Take a look.... I hope it's the same one.

And a one cool....and one selfless selfie.....Skunk Baxter at the Presonus booth and the selfie....Henry Rollins spoke at our Shure Rep meeting. He was kind enough to allow me get a pix with him. He's a Shure fan and has signed autographs at the booth several times in the past. They asked him to...

A few more candids.....

A few candid ukecentric shots....

D'angelico is putting their name on everything. The ukes are interesting looking!
