Hello all, If this posts strangely my iPad has been doing weird things.....including this thread....this is my 3rd time trying to post it. I’m looking to buy a RISA Solid Stick Tenor ukulele. I was wondering if actual users could offer their opinions as to the quality of this instrument and...

Maybe a sign of things to come.....

Hello all, I’ve been researching getting an electric-acoustic uke and am leaning toward the Seagull Electro. I’m also thinking about the steel stringed model. However, I’ve been looking to see where I can get replacement strings and I can’t find a spot anywhere.....even looking at the Seagull...

Hello all, I’ve been noticing a number of players with the Fender Fullerton acoustic-electric ukuleles. In Canada they sell for around $280 , which is fairly inexpensive. Any thoughts on these ukes, they come in strat, tele, and jazz master forms and are concert in scale.

Hello all, I finally pushed the button and have a Kala Thinline Travel Concert uke ordered from our local Long and McQuade store. When I placed the order I have their usual 30 day return policy at no cost to me if I don’t like the uke. My question is does anyone have one and are there any...

Hello all, I am interested in purchasing a tenor uke; so I rented a Kala T from our local Long and McQuade to see if I would like it. I really like the tone and the fretboard....Bm is really easy for me on it. What I found was it is so quiet when in my uke group I can hardly hear it. Now my...

Hello all, I’ve been scrolling through the threads for an answer to my question but haven’t found an answer. We have so many Low G questions you could start it’s own thread on it. My issue is I wish to put a Low G string on my Little Gem banjouke. I have been browsing through the Long and...

Hello all, I’ve been wondering about acoustic-electric ukes? I’m leaning towards getting a better acoustic Uke and putting an attachable pickup on it. I have a few acoustic guitars and I have a Little Gem so I was thinking multiple application. The question is I really have no idea where to...

Hello all, I’ve been thinking of getting a tenor scale, and have been watching for sales at our local Long and McQuade store here in Windsor. This week they have Epiphone Hummingbird ukes on sale for $249 Canadian, which is $40 bucks off. I’ve read some reviews on these, and while not the...

Hello all, I currently have a Little Gem banjo-uke. I have been thinking about trying out a soprano and was wondering what I should look for in deciding which ones in our music store are of good quality. I do play guitar and have an idea of what a good guitar should look and sound like. I...

Hello all. I am narrowing down my list of tenor ukes I would like to buy. I’ve been thinking about the pickups, if I go electric. When I look at the descriptions I find each manufacturer appears to have a different definition of what the electronics are. What I think I need is a passive system...

Hello all, I am a newbie to Uke. I have a concert scale Little Gem....I also have 2 banjos....both 5 strings. What I would like to do is tune my older 5 string to a low g Uke tuning. So now I’m wondering what to do with the 5th string...do I leave it high G or some other key. My inclination is...

Hello all, I am considering buying a Fluke Tenor. I have read quite a few reviews and all seem good. What I am wondering about is the polycarbonate fret board. A few reviews mentioned that they wear down fairly quickly. The chain where I am intending to buy does not stock the wood fret board...

Hello all, I’ve been thinking about getting a tenor scale acoustic-electric and was looking for some recommendations. I’ve been going over the web and have seen many brands but our national music stores do not carry. Now I am interested in the Godin MultiUke, but at $1300 can it is expensive...

I am interested in a Godin Multiuke but can't seem to find one to try out to see if I would like it. Any opinions on the Godin? Thanx.
