I will recommend buying a strap pin and installing it. It is not that difficult, I have done it on a couple of my ukes. It should be an very high end...

That seems like an advanced variation. It takes a while to get the hang of the claw and learning how wide to make the claw to hit whichever string...

...you see that magazines, working with photoshop, that stuff ain't real...

I thought of that, but I hate just copying someone else's design. I have two teardrops and several that are similar.

There seems to be a bit of a common feeling running around the ukulele world. I haven't been very productive lately and the threads around here have...

Teardrop, my favorite shape!

Installing strap buttons does not break the ukulele or ruin the sound. Just about every steel-string acoustic guitar has strap buttons installed at...

Jupiter Ukuleles (Jonathan Dale) is a custom builder/one-man-shop. His output is limited and although he might occasionally have an instrument...

Excellent work, as usual, Gerard, you also win the "neatness" award! Bob

Hi Dohle, I'll send a pm. :)

I looked at Jupiter. Seems as if nothing is available. When it comes to buying Ukes, the money burns a hole in my pocket. I'm not much into waiting...

Hi, it is still available. I will email you today!

Daddario makes something similar to Jake's, with a small rubber 'hook' at half the the price, or the Fremont at half that...or there are really cheap...

Thank you, dear Seasonistas, the first songs about games and toys have been added to the playlist. Honestly, I'm not leading, I'm just...

When a deal is too good, they sell out fast. All gone! Money refunded.

Brilliant, thanks for the comment. I'm not necessarily looking for something brighter than the Moon Bird so I think I'll go for something else....

Whatever happened on this?

I've never noticed that. Whatever uke I'm playing, I just pick it up and play it, regardless of size, weight, or shape.

We are down to the last 24 hours (well, 21 actually), so I'm sure Ralf will be along soon. Some lovely entries have come in over the last few days,...

The 0XK soprano is one of the few ukuleles I have kept that is a modern Martin. Great playing uke. To me it feels good in my hands and have never...

Similar I would say - I think it's louder (though I am going from memory, not side by side) and a touch brighter and crisper. The Moon Bird as I...

Thanks for the review! I've been looking forward to this. I've been interested in Maestro ukuleles ever since I saw them at Gute Ukulele but there...

Well, of course, John ... what else could we possibly be talking about? Er ... barquentine sailing ships???

Being new at ukuleles when I had my OXK, I didn't notice it being "neck heavy" until I read that some people thought it was.

Manhattan Transfer We once went to the ones Beach Marine Theater to see them perform, and many of the people in the audience were made up to look...

I didn't find them neck heavy at all.

I have one of the OX bamboo ukes and don't find it to be neck heavy. While there is a lot of talk that these instruments are heavy overall, I can't...

;) ;) ;) I keep the pens in a big pen display box. Whenever I write something, I use one of the fountain pens, but 99% of my writing is done at...

We look forward to your entry by Dildo....'erm I mean Dido Keith. Will It be a solo entry or will you be accompanied by a friend ?
