Camping. I live in Montana and camp most weekends in the "summer". Our daytime/nightime temperature swings are pretty severe. Add the "campfire factor" (front of uke is extremely hot, back is much less so) and you could probably really mess up a nicer instrument. Add the "drinking whisky in...

Wifey and I are taking 2 weeks in November to visit Kauai and the Big Island. We really haven't made solid plans yet (other than airfare to/from the mainland) but need to get our lodging figured out soon. Does anyone have suggestions for places to catch some live uke or slack key guitar music...

My first real life exposure to the uke was on my honeymoon in the Cooke Islands. A group of guys were playing them at the exit from the airport and also at different venues/events during out stay. I considered buying one but I had no music experience at the time and thought it would be a...

With the sub-zero temps and the use of my woodstove I've been a little concerned* about my humidity levels recently. I have access to a industrial grade (near instant refresh rate) hygrometer through work and I brought it home to measure my RH levels. The house RH is around 31% to 33%. I have...

I never thought I would make a NUD post. My orange Mahalo and Martin CK1 were already more ukes than my playing deserves. Then I bought that Kala on Maui a few years back. For sure that was more than enough. Then my dad called a few months ago. My step-sis, one of three who I hadn't met...

Long story but my dad and his wife are renting a house on Hawaii for 6 weeks and invited me to join them in September. I really need to see my dad due to some family issues but it's THE WORST time for me to take a vacation. So, I only have 5 non-travel days on the island. I've never been...

Hi All, I'm trying to learn Me and Julio from Uke Minutes #71. Among the chords for the song, Aldrine lists G and B7 but I don't think he describes where they come in. I'm guessing that I can just throw 'em in someplace to liven things up but where in the strumming pattern do they appear...

Aloha! Does anyone have suggestions for a website or book that would teach a beginner (me) to read music staffs better? Or, to skip ahead, I have some uke music that shows the chords I need to strum and I can follow that pretty well until I get to the right side of the page and see those thick...

After deciding not risk buying my first nice uke during my HI vacation http://www.ukuleleunderground.com/forum/showthread.php?77845-Humidity-is-it-a-bad-idea-to-bring-a-HI-uke-to-MT&highlight=humidity (I may pick up a fluke there, or at least a music book). I traded in my unused electric guitar...

Greetings All! I'm going to Hawaii for the first time in a couple months and was thinking that it would be a great time to buy my first "decent" uke to augment my $40 Mahalo soprano. The thing is that "home" is Montana. The humidity here regularly dips into the high 20s in the summer. It's...
