I ordered a Collings UT2K from Artisan Guitars in July 2020, and it finally arrived after a six-month wait. The timing was great actually, because I sold a uke just last week which helped cover the cost. This Collings Tenor sounds amazingly sweet, clear and resonant. I'm gonna love this jewel...

I've had my eye out for a Kanile'a KSR Tenor uke for awhile, so I recently pounced on a KSR-TP model at The Ukulele Site, and I just want to give a shout-out to the fine folks there who helped me with the purchase. It was right after the new site went live, and I was having a bit of trouble...

I just received a new KoAloha Tenor from The Ukulele Site. Andrew and his crew did their usual bang-up job of filling my order, with a super setup and amazing packing & shipping! This is a 2020 model KTM-00 which has the new body shape KoAloha introduced last year, so I just wanted to say a...

I jam sometimes with a local uke group called the Donelson Ukesters. We recently played as part of a Neil Diamond tribute show at a senior living facility, and it seemed to go over pretty well. I'm the one in front, singing off key: :cool:

I ran across this Kanile'a Tenor (S/N 19996) in stock at theukulelesite.com, and I've been jonesing for it bad. If I hadn't already been splurging on ukes lately, I'd buy it and load another $2k on my credit card. Judging by the video, it might be the best-sounding Kanile'a I've heard yet, or...

NID: Moon Bird uke and Fly Bird guitar This might be a new category: New Instruments Day! Recently, the stars aligned and two new aNueNue instruments, uke and guitar, came into my life. It started late one night about three weeks ago. I was playing on Facebook and noticed a new post by Hawaii...

I was poking around the Anuenue web site and found a short-scale nylon string guitar called the MN214 Fly Bird. With a solid Moon Spruce top and solid Rosewood back & sides, it looks like a big brother to the Moon Bird ukuleles. Nut width is 48 mm and the scale length is 610 mm. Very...

For the past few months, I've been leading a monthly ukulele jam session at Lane Music in Brentwood, TN (USA) which is a Nashville suburb. Here's some videos from our latest jam on Saturday, 5-Jan-2019. As you can see, a good time was had by all! A group photo of some tired but happy...

My new Blackbird Farallon uke arrived on Friday, 7-Dec-2018, and so far I've just been noodling around on it and letting the strings settle in. The strings are Oasis Warms with a Low G, by the way. I ordered it directly from Blackbird Guitars with the gloss sunburst finish, front position...

Does this hat make me look like Ken Middleton? :)

I went to hear Taimane Gardner at the City Winery in Nashville, TN (USA), and she was fabulous of course. She and her backup band put on a great show, but I couldn't help wondering what happened to Jazzy, her former guitar player. Does anyone know why Jazzy Jazz no longer plays guitar for...

Here's a video someone shot of me playing open mic at the first-ever Rocket City Ukulele Festival in Huntsville, AL, on 5-May-2018. I was using my KoAloha Tenor and Kala Baritone ukes. Hey, I'm a ukulele player. Just because I can't sing doesn't mean I won't sing! :cool:

Pics of old Steedy at a couple of recent open mic nights. In the first one, I'm playing my Kamaka Tenor ukulele, and in the second I'm playing my Martin D-Jr guitar. There's another open mic next week, and I'm planning to perform one song with the uke and one on guitar.

I haven't done a New Uke Day post in quite a while, but I just purchased a lovely Kala Baritone uke, and thought I would share a few photos, and sing the praises of Andrew and all the folks at theukulelesite.com. This is my first Baritone ukulele and it feels pretty special. I never wanted a...

Today was such a beautiful morning that I decided to sit outside and do a little front porch picking. I was sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee and a metallic blue Makala Dolphin, and I realized that little uke has an amazingly sweet tone. I thought "this is really all you need." :)

I bought tickets back in January to see the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain next week but I'm not going after all, so I have FOR SALE two tickets to the UOGB concert in Bloomington, Indiana on Thursday, October 8. The tickets are for the Orchestra level, Row C, Seats 205 & 206, which should...

I've been taking a local guitar class that meets on Monday nights. It's a small group and each week we learn and play two songs together. Last week I brought my Kanilea Concert ukulele to class, just to keep 'em off balance. :) I sat down with my Kanilea in a circle with five other guitar...

This was mentioned in a previous thread which I cannot locate, but StringsByMail.com has got 30% off Oasis ukulele strings through the end of this month (March 2015, that is). Just thought some of us might be interested.

Recently, I changed strings on a ukulele with bridge pins for the first time. I was a little nervous because I wasn't sure how to remove the bridge pins or how to secure the new strings, but it turned out to be a piece of cake. Once I removed the old strings at the headstock, the bridge...
