    For Sale / Trade Collings Tenor Ukulele with highly Figured Mahogany

    I agree, play it! And btw it’s “Bill Collings”. The story goes that if he was unhappy with a guitar or mando or uke for any reason, he wound cut it in half with a bandsaw. Now that’s quality control! Cheers!

    Try light gauge 12 string set of your favorite brand can’t go wrong with DAddario phosphor bronze, and make sure you tune it down a whole step to D. Old 12 strings tend to have neck and /or bridge issues that may require major surgery by a skilled luthier. I have an old Harmony 12 string model...

    Best singer playing the uke.

    A great performance from Cliff Edwards, Jose Oliveira, Clarence Nash. Luther 'Red' Roundtree on guitar. Cliff has always been my favorite uke player….his style was so smooth and effortless

    Went to get the trash cans in the sleeting snow and there's a ukulele shaped box sitting on my porch frozen to the ground.

    You’re lucky… could have really gotten ugly! That’s one of the reasons that whenever I ship a uke or guitar I always wrap the entire case in a sealed heavy duty trash bag before packing it in the over padded shipping box.

    Bridge positioning & Gluing?

    All of the StewMac clamps are too big for a soprano…any suggestions from you builders out there? I have a Pohaku sop that needs the bridge reglued. I’m looking to buy, not make clamps.
