Yesterday I awoke to what I've been waiting for: a modern build (2011) used Kamaka Baritone. This one is sold thru Elderly. I am having their techs set it up with the Lambchop D'Addario d'gbe' method, since Elderly doesn't stock Southcoast strings. I'll upload pics That I snarfed from...

REVISED: I now understand the standard notation Dirk is talking about, so I'm going to post that next to my twisted language. Nothing like re-inventing the wheel. Dirk will correct me if I'm wrong :-) You all know I've gone a little Barry Tone (my new best friend) crazy, but I've been having a...

I recently bought a Martin Tenor c 40s and had it strung with Martin strings and tuned to C. It just sounded...well, blah. I just put the light cuatro set on from Southcoast and tuned it to Eb. Magic! Jazzy, warm, humming! My Martin tenor has found its voice. Anybody else have a tenor...

Hi All: I have a Martin c40s Tenor that has very stiff friction tuners. I'm going to put new strings on this weekend. Should I take the tuners apart and clean them? WD40? What should I do to spruce them up? Thanks!

Hi Friends; Some of you know I have a Martin baritone coming from Folkways Music to me in Portland, Oregon. I wonder if you might know something about when it passes through customs? Like all of us do, I've been watching the Fedex tracking online. The uke arrived in Buffalo, NY, and then...
