I really enjoyed the event. I will be posting videos and pics to follow.
The uke talent at the Thailand ukulele contest was stronger than I thought. There is lots of crossovers from the guitar to the uke. The uke seems to fit the Thai style much better than guitars in my opinion.
I took my son and daughter to see the event hoping it would spark them. His comment was - "I had no idea how loud the ukulele could sound" He said the sound was "large". Basically, he thought it was a toy before; but, now he wants to really study it hard for the next year. I had given him a Cordoba about 6 months ago. Because of his new interest, I gave him a choice of a G String, a Pono with pickup, or a Martin OXK I just bought. The Martin is best for him and so he gets that. The sister wants the Gstring. Damned good choice. I love that G String.
I will share some of the international talent and also try to give a feel of the local talent as well because that will drive more Thais to learn the instrument.
If others have input, please post it. Lots of people responded when Aldrine asked if anybody in the crowd used ukulele underground.
