Belated and ongoing thanks for everyone's input! I ended up snagging a build spot soon after first asking here, and am glad I did. One, because I'm...

... Yeah. A larger room humidifier is currently holding higher 30s (percent humidity) most days, not up into the 40-50 range I've been able to...

In my opinion, Chaminade University of Honolulu is the best choice! It is a private institution. It utilizes a semester-based academic calendar....

Wow - have you been to St. Petersburg?

Totally agree sometimes in your songbook there is Dm written and it does not sound really right to the tune. It could be that the chord is stupidly...

Do I need to oil it or anything after that?

Yah, he's sponsored by Enya. You can find him playing everything from their entry level stuff to their really high end.

an original song written just now for the season and a nasty little bugger it is... :p

three bitter lie

In most of his videos, he plays aNueNue. The Enya must be a sponsored video.

It doesn't get much better, IMO! There are enough vintage Martin's at GC that anyone interested should keep their eyes open. I expect prices to...

For me, watching an unboxing video is like watching someone else eat. I just don't feel fulfilled. Fortunately, I keep UPS and FedEx busy enough so...

This is a Moody Blues song about a planet that just wants some people to come live on it already, played with the ElectroHarmonix Mel9 pedal...

Of the several Ohanas that have passed through my hands, the rosewood and spruce satin sop was my favorite. What an incredible sound! Congrats! ...

I have both, a Collings UC-3, and a Kamaka Deluxe Concert. The two are comparable in that they are both superb instruments. Of course, the voice,...

Cool-o, Teri. Which ukes to you own now?

By God! That's the first time I've heard Ukulele used to accompany an Operatic Soprano! And, I think that's Italian opera, not Chinese....

This. If your luthier knows what he's doing it will be fine. You just wanna play the thing! :)

i went looking for the general instruction that says vids have to be new and recorded for the season... and couldn't find it! but it's definitely...

Oh, Vic. I didn't realize this was you. You have certainly already had vintage Martins come through your playing hands!

As much as this line appealed to me (I was the one who made that other post), if you're going to buy a soprano I would just go for a vintage Martin. ...

Wow, thx for picking up my post again, John! I'm jealous you found a used one. Really fun to hear it. I almost bought one of those prototypes......

He's incredible. So, I imagine this kid could play any uke he wanted in the world And he's playing an Enya... has he a contract with them?

UAS and UDS are like Yin and Yang in that they enable and feed on each other.

I don't think Kamaka makes any bad ukuleles but some do sound better than others.

There's nothing stopping you from using lower inversions of any chords that you don' t like. Try 3535 and 3435 for the two chords @ the 10th fret...
