Thanks for the additional information, I was wondering if it might be birch but I wasn't sure how to tell. I am pretty sure all the sound issues at...

Ha , bloody hell, you don't see a licorice stick forever then two turm up at once !! Still Chelle can play ,I'm still making farty noises :rofl: ...

More for the theoretical discussion; Bigger or smaller frets, height and or width. I have a guitar that has jumbo frets. I cannot make it play the...

It would not matter one bit if you send it to Kamaka to have it repaired or have it done by your local luthier if he knows what he is doing. The...

I think Sears used "Supertone" up until the 1940's but I don't remember where I got that information. This looks to me like a 30's - 40's ukulele but...

I've owned accoustic and electric guitars, but uke is the instrument that resonated with me. My first uke experiece was a friend's ovation concert...

That was a lot of fun! Thx. ~ S.

That was great. Looked like you, Maggie, and your uke were all color coordinated, even. :-) I bet that's a fond memory.

Mahalo Bill for additional validation on my (and apparently others') method for low G with re-entrant sets. Some ukers on FB discussions were quite...

Mahalo for this link Griole. Never seen this before today but it was good validation! Glad to know it works for you too.

It depends on the thickness. Fluorocarbon strings can be very thin to get desired tension as they are high density. Nylon strings are usually...

Only thing I can point out as a double bass player is that a plastic acoustic-electric DB that "makes very little acoustic sound unless plugged in"...

This video is from the Martin YouTube channel. First 5 minutes of the video is a history of the company. Second 5 minutes is photos and sound samples...

Thank you so much for the lovely invite to participate, Yukio! And, my goodness, what a theme you’ve got going for your Season, too!!! Nothing short...

Thanks Ziret, for confirming what I’d hoped!

My new experimental side soundhole design.

Hi Kala22, Welcome to the UU Forum. We are "like"-minded, in that we really like ukuleles and playing them. But we don't think the same. Because,...

Fair enough, Ripock. I love the soprano (re-entrant aDF#B tuning) because I can use it to accompany my singing, and it's cool how the uke and the...

Hi NotJake, Welcome to the forum. About joining a ukulele club. Don't let inexperience dissuade you from visiting and joining. Most clubs welcome...

Thanks for the link. Just ordered one. I’m tired of the micro tuners. I find them too hard to see outdoors and I play outside a fair bit. I hate the...

One that I used to struggle with was Ab7 - 1323. It's a useful shape as a moveable 7th chord, so well worth persevering with. John Colter

Price drop and weekend bump. ...I'm also going to try listing this little uke on other venues soon. So if someone here is thinking about adding...

If you play without nails, you could try growing them out. I suppose it would depend on the type of music you play as well as many other factors,...

Hey! Really enjoyed that. You both were terrific. What a great find.

While playing diatonic harmonica, I was bitten by an otherwise docile house cat. In reference to Tiny Tim, it is a bit embarrassing. Ukulele...

I saw this under new posts and I thought it was intriguing. I sometimes wistfully browse at vintage instruments and always find myself attracted to...

My dogs don't mind. Maybe they just like being with me, so they put up with "the noise."

Yes, it was definitely a put-down.

I got an appointment for March 16, three hours north of me. The questionnaire had a lot of questions about cancer and immune system compromising. I...

Yep...you can cheat at least 1/4" per side with a butt graft. Maybe more if you really commit to it
