    Baritone with GCEA

    Anyone know if this would sound good? I just thought it would be neat to have a uke with a bit more bass. I don't have a guitar background and don't feel like learning a different tuning.. Any ideas??

    Frets are too tall. Can I fix it?

    One of my ukes has amazing sound, but the thing that bothers me is that the frets are too big/tall. I prefer a lower profile fret. What are my options AND are these options easy enough so that just any guitar luthier around town should be able to do??

    Koaloha Tenor -- Like New

    I am the original owner of this amazing Koaloha Tenor. It is made of solid Koa. This uke sounds amazing. It has been re-strung with Worth Tenor Brown Mediums for an incredibly warm/rich sound. Again, it compliments the Koa really well. These are very difficult to get your hands on, as many...

    What happened to the SD Uke Fest?

    Any local SD people out there know why the SD Uke Fest is no longer around?? Maybe it is back for this year, but have not heard anything. It would be a shame for it to disappear. There is so much uke talent and interest here in SD.:(

    Seems like a gas scam here...

    So, I heard this interesting ad on the radio today (which in not cheap to do). They claim that you can "lock-in" gas at 2.49/gallon for the remainder of '08 by signing up. It is called America's Rebate. I went on the site briefly and read the fine print....something about shipping and...

    freerice.com

    Pretty neat way to help out the less fortunate. I just played for awhile and "donated" about 1300 grains of rice. A common question is this: Q: If FreeRice has the rice to give, why not give it all away right now? A: FreeRice is not sitting on a pile of rice―you are earning it 20 grains at...

    Any words bother you?

    Somebody asked me at a restaurant today if I wanted a "soda pop". I have no idea why, but I just don't get it. Soda pop...really? It isn't their fault in any way....just sounds weird to me. I have friends that have issues with certain words too. I guess this would be the what grinds your gears...

    My Movie Review System

    For the last decade, my friends and I have used a movie rating system that is simple and clear. OK..the RULES are.. A. Movies are rated on a 1 - 5 scale using decimals if needed (ie 3.9) B. NOTHING gets a 5....we can always hope that some day..:D C. Any movie that gets a rating lower than...
