Okay...so I have this 1930s Favilla U-2 soprano that I really love the sound. But, the tuners just suck. They were the original tuners that something must have happened to the original buttons...so someone made some wooden buttons to replace them. As you can see in the following photos, the...

I got myself a new Ohana SK-38 from Mike at Uke Republic. I've had this for over a week now...just now getting around to posting some pics. This is one sweet ukulele. The tone is real close to that of my 1930s Favilla. Ohana has done an outstanding job of capturing that vintage sound in a modern...

Does anyone know of a good ukulele arrangement for Sing Sing Sing (composed by Louis Prima and made famous by Benny Goodman)? I'm looking for somethings similar to the following video...maybe a little simpler as my skill level is not quite to that level.

What's happenin' UUers. It's been a while since I posted. You know how it goes...have a couple of grandkids and life gets real busy. Anyway...I have a story I wanted to share: I had a recent flare up of UAS. That new Ohana SK-38 really caught my eye and I just had to have one. I looked and saw...

Sometimes you want something...just because it's cool! http://elderly.com/new_instruments/names/alum-a-uke-concert-ukulele--ALUM1.htm :iwant:

I saw a posting from a local ukulele group today and thought I'd share. Sounds like a great time (if only I had the money). http://members.cox.net/ukesatsea/

Has anyone seen these? http://elderly.com/new_instruments/items/LXMTEN.htm I know it is a tenor guitar...but according to Wiki, it can be tuned like a baritone uke (DGBE) or standard C ukulele tuning (GCEA). I was wondering if anyone has tried one of these? It looks very interesting and I...

As I was watching Ken Middleton's excellent version of "The Scarlet Tide", I noticed under related videos there was one of Elvis Costello playing the song on the ukulele. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFZx-lsbxqI&feature=related Just thought I'd share.

That's not Jason Mraz. That's UkuleleZaza (Remco) from Belgium. You should check out some of his other stuff. He is an amazing talent.

Sorry I couldn't make it. I had planned on coming...but I had to do my grandpa duties instead. Hopefully I'll make it to one in the near future.

That is awesome, Doug! Way to spread the ukulele love. :shaka: So...where in Ohio are you, anyway?

I feel your pain. You're too far North...I'm too far West. All the cool people are hanging out on the East side. I know there are a couple of Lansing folks on here, though.

...how about a George Formby impersonator? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rojdYBn9MXQ This guy (Dave Clarke) has even got the mannerisms down pat. I really enjoyed this and had to share. :D

Sweet! Sub'd. :D

Yes...thank you, Ian. It wasn't until after I began playing the ukulele did I discover how wonderful the music from this era really was. I have really learned to appreciate the chord structures of these songs. Hey, BF...you should put your YT channel in your sig or update your profile so we...

So I created a new social group - Favilla Fanatics. This is for owners and aficionados of Favilla or Marca Aquila ukes. Check it out and join up!

This was just a quick video mainly to show off my new Mainland Honeybee soprano ukulele. I know this song has been covered to death...but I kinda like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISjTsjdMvHM

My new Mainland Honeybee arrived yesterday! I've been so busy as of late, I couldn't even post about it until today. Anyway...I like it a whole bunch. Here are a couple of pictures. Hopefully, I can get around to making a video with it next week sometime.

Does anyone have any opinions on the Hamano H-100 soprano uke? I really like the looks of this uke, and the 1920s vibe it has, but I don't know how it sounds. Both Elderly and MGM has them. :anyone:
