I wanted a souvenir from Hawaii. I ended up in the guitar shop looking at Ukulele's. I wasn't quite certain I could do it. But I brought home a shiny new Kamaka soprano. I haven't been able to put it down since.

Thanks for putting the classes online. I'm working on my basic chords thanks to you guys!

Cheers,

Ken Green

Welcome and congratulations. Wow, the third new player in the last 48 hours or less to start out with a killer instrument. I think you are in the lead so far. That's one hell of a souvenier. Glad you love it, will help.

Welcome, and congrats on the Kamaka! Such a great ukulele to start off with!

Lots of uke players in the Bay Area. Are you actually in the city? If you are looking to jam in the East Bay, let me know. I sometimes get together with some friends in the area to play some songs!

Excellent choice. Welcome!

Aloha and welcome to the UU!! Ahhhhh another member of the Kamaka Klub!! Congrats on an excellent choice for a ukulele!!!

kgreen6901 · Jul 17, 2011

The Chinese import ukes just weren't the same. I wanted the real handmade out of koa wood deal. Plus the Kamaka just had the most beautiful sound. Here's pictures on request. Also, yes I am in the city. I live in the mission. I'd love to get together with other members too. And I'm one of the weird ones who's willing to travel the bridge to the east bay.

Thanks so much for the warm welcome

Wowee!! Absolutely beauty!! Sweet! I'm new to UU too, and a native of S.F.

I live up the hill from Baker Beach in the presidio. Welcome, and let's see if we can get some jams going here in the city. I've been playing guitar for 30yrs. in bands, and took up the uke about a yr. ago. I have a lanikai flame maple soprano, and an epiphone les paul concert that I had upgrade work done to

I've been working on a second set of classic rock uke tunes to play out

I carry one of them everywhere, ya know, HAVE UKE WILL TRAVEL! UU is the greatest place on the web, Welcome again, Aloha

Congrats! Welcome to the K Brand Beginner Uke Club! I started out with a KoAloha concert back in January and haven't looked back since.
