    My Friend has Multiple Sclerosis

    So... a few years ago my friend Chris Hennessy asked me if I've ever ridden the New York MS Bike Tour, I said yeah but I never raise money for it... then I told him that I always register the day of the event and put a fake address, email and telephone number so I didn't have to deal with people...

    Has anyone in the USA ever bought an instrument on Ebay from Singapore ?

    I was browsing Ebay and they had a uke that I liked, but I decided not to go for it because it was coming from Singapore. I've been burned before buying overseas through Ebay and I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this. To be more specific, the company is called...

    Working on my 2nd Tenor UKE

    Okay, so I've been lurking the web, the forums and ebay for a new tenor uke and it seems like there's always something I don't like about a uke or for the price of the uke I would rather pay a little more and find a builder and have it the way I want. So now it seems that I've decided to go and...

    NYC music stores don't give no respect to UKES

    So I was walking around Midtown Manhattan around lunchtime and decided to go to the only two music stores left on 48th St. I entered one of the stores and headed towards the acoustic guitar section. I've never really pay attention to ukes when I go to these stores, they never seem to have any...

    The loud C string

    Has anyone else noticed how loud the c string is on a uke ? I've noticed this on my Kamaka Concert and Pono Tenor, both are tuned with a high G. It just sounds weird when I play certain songs.

    A little story about my Kamaka Uke

    My first uke was a Kamaka concert, I bought it about 7 years ago when I was in Hawaii. I can honestly say that I rarely ever played it during those 7 years. This year in May I went to Hawaii again and I bought a Kanilea Tenor. 5 months later, I've been playing nearly 4 times a week. So...

    What Tenor Uke should I start looking for ?

    So I have a Kanilea Tenor, a Pono Tenor and a Kamaka Concert (as you've all seen before). I'm thinking about getting another 4 string Tenor tuned to a high G. I've been searching the web and everytime I see something interesting I think, "..well, I already have a koa body uke or I already have...

    are you always looking for a uke to buy ?

    I find myself always looking for a uke. Not really buying, but the possibility to buy. I actually have one I'd like to buy now, but currently way out of me price range. So... Ebay, store websites, etc... How often do you shop for ukes ? Twice a week ? Three times a week ? Once a day ?
