Hey guys,
Just wanted to introduce myself.
I was in Hawaii on the Big Island last week when I ran into a guy named Duke who plays the ukulele in a band called "Hawaiian Unimited". I think thats right.
We were chatting about the uke and he told me about this website.
-Duke - If you read this post up so I know who you are.
-Anybody who knows Duke please post up and tell me his username.
So anyways. I have owned a ukulele for about 3 years. And my total time actually playing it is about 1 hour.
When I got it I was told it was tuned. I was also told that a regular guitar tuner wouldn't work to tune it.
Both of those statements were lies. The uke sounded like complete crap. Which explains why I only played it a few times in a few years.
So after talking to a buddy of mine and getting some real answers about tuning. Then doing some more research to figure out what size uke I have. I am now ready to start playing more.
As soon as I got home from Hawaii I tuned my uke and now I am in love.
Here she is------
It is a Leolani from OMI International and it is a tenor size.
Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic.
Any one have an opinion on this type/brand?
So anyways. Just wanted to say hi and look forward to participating on this forum.
