I finally got a semi-decent ukulele!
I had been studying ukulele, writing for it and arranging for it using a cheap little $30 Gremlin for quite a while now. Today I received in the mail my new favorite thing: it's an Oscar Schmidt OU-5 Concert Ukulele.
It sounds great to me, and I can finally start trying to play some of those John King arrangements that I like. That Carol of the Bells arrangement is just about impossible on my old Gremlin (it has a terrible intonation problem; I reckon the bridge ought to be back several millimeters or so.)
I had been a mandolin player for about 20 years, but lately I've been almost obsessed with the ukulele. I haven't picked up the mando for about a month now. I don't know what it is about the ukulele, but I sure have been charmed by it.
