Hi everyone. I've been playing ukulele for about a year now. I've been playing a cheapo Hilo soprano that I bought at the local Guitar Center on and off, but have really gotten into it over the past few months. I recently upgraded to aquila strings, and am very happy with the choice. Intonation and overall tone was vastly improved. Just moments ago I bought myself a Makala MK-C from MGM on ebay. I can't wait to play that for a few months and then purchase a tenor!

Awesome choice of uke and where in PA are you? I'm going to school in State college but I'm always around the Wilkes Barre/ Scranton area
 
I live right outside of Wilkes-Barre, in Forty Fort. Its right across the river.

Welcome to the Underground Mark!
 
Scranton? As in "The Office" Scranton? "Dunder Mifflin"?

Welcome to UU.

I spent a few weeks in Manheim way back in the summer of '67 I believe.
Learned to love A&W Root Beer after working hard on a hot day. Wow,
the frosty mug did it for me.

I almost picked up a 'Pennsylvania Dutch' accent while i was there. And
that from a local boy from Honolulu!!! Go figure.

Anyway, welcome!
 
Yeah, that Scranton. I used to tell people that I knew everyone from the Office until everyone figured out it wasn't really filmed here. Oh well.

bongofury - where did you grow up in the poconos?

I grew up just about 25 minutes down Route 115....in Pocono Lake. But I spent more time in Wilkes Barre than I ever did there.
