I'm having the darnedest time finding plain old rectified low G (unwound) strings for a concert and tenor uke. I really like the mellow sound and feel of rectified strings. It's been some time since I've gotten new strings. It seems everywhere I look now it's just Aquilas nylguts and Worths...

I was hanging out in Little Tokyo near downtown Los Angeles over the weekend and was lucky to listen to a duo playing shamisen. Just WOW. I mean, I thought it sounded good in Kubo & The Two Strings lol. I really would like to have one now. Unfortunately, it's turning out to be a rather...

So cool!! Thank you for taking the time to arrange this. (Sorry for all my recent thread necros - wanting to add to my uke tab collection cos the existing collection is getting stale.)

Amazing arrangement!! Thank you so much for sharing this.

I know Waverly makes some nice open geared and friction tuning machines for ukes and Rubner has some really nice open geared ones. Any others?

Great arrangement! I love solos like these and collect them. Thank you so much for your work and sharing!

Anyone use a table for storing their sheet music? I was thinking of getting an 8" Asus zenpad cos the price is decent and it looks like a decent tablet. But I'm wondering if the backlight and contrast are enough to make up for the smaller screen versus an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

I use these capos on my classicals and flamenco guitars but they work just as well on an ukulele. I also like how they can be very ornate. Post pics of your cejilla if you use them ...

I've had so much fun playing so many of your arrangements, Putter.

Ok so a little bit of background first ... I'm entirely new to pickups. I wanted to give it a try so I had a MiSi system installed on a KoAloha tenor (KTM-00R). Man, I couldn't put it down. So I had a pickup installed on my Kamaka tenor (HF3) also. I also got a Yamaha THR5A and I really...

Do different strings lend themselves better to pickups? I've got Fremonts on one Tenor and Oasis brights on another tenor. The ideal gains are so different on these strings. Where its at with the Fremonts, just sounds way too much for the Oasis (needs to be adjusted down by maybe more than a...

I just had pickups installed on a couple of my tenors so I thought I'd try out some straps since I had the jack input there anyway. I didn't really find any that I liked - just a simple 1 inch thick brownish or tan strap maybe made out of hemp for some hippie factor. So I tried making it...

I just brought in my Kamaka HF3 (tenor) to have a pickup installed. I really trust these guys and they come well recommended from people I know as well as folks on this forum. I just had a MiSi installed on another tenor so I was hoping to get the Baggs 5.0 on this one. But the guy saw it was...

I was curious if installing a good quality pickup (e.g., Baggs 5.0, MiSi, etc) necessarily reduce the resale value of an ukulele? I'm sure it can cut both ways depending on whether the buyer is, say, a purist or on the other extreme, someone that gigs or busks. I know in the grander scheme of...

I am a total amp / pickup noob and I'm stuck in one of those positions where I had initially wanted to get the better quality / higher price Roland Mobile Cube but ended up being "penny-wise" and went with the Blackstar Fly 3 instead. I like it but I also don't have much experience at all with...

Putter I can't tell you how often I visit your site for new music. Thank you so much for putting that together - free of charge. Right now, I'm rockin some Take Five :)

Just wanted to write for those of you that might have tried a pickup before and shied away from it. That's what I did - I had a Cordoba with I think their called piezo pickups with the dials and 9v battery. I tried so many different amps and so many settings and just never liked the sound. I...

Anybody have a recommendation of somewhere that can install a pickup preferably in Long Beach, CA but also in Orange County?

Campbell you're awesome!! Thank you!!
