    New Uke Day (NUD) John S. Kinnard concert

    FYI - I was talking to Kalei at TUS a couple of weeks back and raving about my Kinnard, which is about 5 years old. He told me that , somehow, Kinnards now sound even better. UAS, down!

    Corey Fujimoto's personal gear

    Not sure about their gear, but they are both just terrific guys! And every uke I have heard them play sounds like magic - but I think that is the player.

    New Uke Day (NUD) I could not resist this one

    You never know when it will happen. Here I was, in the smallish town of Fort Collins Colorado, escaping the Arizona heat. We are walking down the main drag, and I see a shop called All Sales Vinyl. I poke my head in and see there is a collection of ukes for sale on the wall right when you...

    New Uke Day (NUD) Antica custom baritone

    That's funny Jon. I originally wanted the gold resin, but Marco stopped making them. And I originally had a black fingerboard, but Marco suggested going with another natural wood. I went along with that and I really like it. But aside from that, we must be twins. And ain't that plane wood...

    New Uke Day (NUD) Antica custom baritone

    I actually got this uke a few days back, but have been traveling and have not been able to post. About a year ago, I fell in love with a uke I saw from Antica that included colorful resin bindings. I contacted Marco Todeshcini, who is Antica ukes, to ask about ordering a baritone with that...

    "Cissy Strut" - Full Band Funk Uke Jam!

    Just got back from Jazz Fest, and heard this song a few times, including once with Leo Nocentelli, the original guitar player of the Meters. Great hearing it again - man, it really works!

    PayPal "Friends and Family"

    I can tell you from hard personal experience, if you encounter a problem with Zelle, you have ZERO recourse. I will never use that again.

    Season 576 - "Dirty Dancing"

    So this is probably not allowed, but it's the best I could do this week. The infamous BEVOMU and I collaborated on this version of a song that happened to also appear in Dirty Dancing. We had so much fun putting it together I thought it deserves another lap around the Seasons block. The first...

    After the breakup, I got all broke up

    It's so funny that you told this story about a Kanile'a Super Tenor. About 12 years ago, I thought I was playing enough uke to finally get a good one. I went to Hawaiian Music Supply and Mike had me do a sound test, where I turned my back and he played three different tenors. The Kanilea'a...

    Strings Stiffest/highest tension uke strings

    On Tim's advice, I reached out to Joel about getting an 8 string baritone set. He got back to me with a variety of choices within about 8 hours!

    Purchase Decision Turning Point

    I don't favor that thinking myself. I have a magical LdfM. It has started to develop some surface blemishes, but nothing that affects playing it at all. I worried about this affecting resale value, although I don't think it is important enough to me to get it fixed for my own tastes, since I...

    Purchase Decision Turning Point

    I actually pride myself on only have 1 instrument per 'slot' - size, tuning, etc. I pretty much stick to that, with one exception. (oh, it's a good reason, believe you me!) So the turning point is when another slot opens up. I recently fell hard for an instrument while at the luthier's shop...
