I picked up a Sparrow baritone a few months ago and I love it. I have an older Risa (the bean shaped one) but I find the string spacing is too narrow. The Sparrow has a nice wide fretboard and the string spacing is much more ukulele-like. Try one if you can, I think you'll like it :)

If you are considering a solid top baritone to play, this Mainland might be for you! There are several dents in the cedar top, which were there when I bought this uke. They do not detract from the playability of the instrument in any way. It sounds and plays great. I'm only selling because I...

For Sale: Kala Cedar Top Tenor Slothead Cutaway Electric. Solid Cedar top, laminate acacia back and sides. Active pickup with tuner. I have too many ukuleles laying around, not getting played, especially considering that I only play the three closest to my desk :) This one is a real looker, and...

This began life as a Seasons of the Ukulele entry a long time ago, but then things got away from me. I rediscovered them at the bottom of the sea.

I wrote this last year, but didn't finish it until a week after Christmas. Here it is again in a more seasonal context. :)

So, my daughter has taken my baritone off to college with her, so I have decided to upgrade to a Mainland Red Cedar. I usually try to buy used, because its cheaper and I don't mind a few dents or dings (save me the trouble and heartache that comes with scratching them up myself). Anyone got one...

This is what my DNA looks like! :)

Howdy Fred, I finally got to make some pancakes to enjoy with your fine Vermont maple syrup. Don't worry the cat didn't eat all of them! :) Thanks again!

Here's a Seasonal original I wrote for the Seasons of the Ukulele. It features my friend Steve Shelton on guitar and tells the story of a man who goes into the woods to cut a tree, has a semi mystical experience, and goes home for a nice lie down. :) I figured I would share it here as well...

This is a song I recorded for pabrizzer's recent any sharp any flat challenge. This one is in Bb, and was written about a family vacation in Canada last Summer. Each verse represents (in its own way) one of the cities we visited. The title refers to the cross signal figure who seems much happier...

Checking In and PRIZES! Howdy Seasonistas! I could swear I posted on this thread last night before I went to bed, but it seems to have gone into the ether. Anyway, I am so happy with the videos I'm seeing! I have watched them all more than once, and I'm catching up on commenting this morning, I...

Howdy Seasonistas! Welcome to the 232 Season of the Ukulele: Something to See. (In which we celebrate the ocular senses, as visual stimuli from the wide and wonderful world pass inverted through our eye holes, clamber up our optic nerves and settle into our brainspace.) The usual rules...

Anyone got one they're looking to sell? :)

My regular gig is creating scientific art of cellular and molecular subjects. I thought I would share my Holiday blog post here, as it concerns an affliction that affects so many of us. :) This is my visualization of the UAS viral capsid. It also just happens to look like a snowflake :) You...

My daughter, performing at a recent recital. :)

My friend Sandy and I decided to take a run at this one for last week's Seasons of the Ukulele. Based on the Alison Krauss/Robert Plant arrangement on "Raising Sand"

This was for last weeks Jug Band Season. Thought I would post it over here as well. :)

Hey UU, I'm dropping out of lurk mode to see if anyone is thinking of selling a Godin Multiuke in the near future. My little mainland concert just can't hold it's own against the drums and guitars (not to mention accordions) in the band. If anyone's got one they're not playing, let me know. I...

This is the funniest thing I saw on Craigslist today: http://hartford.craigslist.org/spo/2973567519.html

Hi, I recently picked up a Risa bean-shaped tenor electric. It's fun to play with, but it is strung currently as a baritone, and I would like to go gCEA re-entrant on it. Is there a single set of electric guitar strings that would cover all the necessary gauges? Any suggestions would be...
