    Bari linear string conundrum

    All, I generally play a reintrant Bari and concentrate on campanella stuff, but I'm learning Fred Sokolow's Slack Key Uke songs and love them on a low D, and I'm having problems finding a set of strings that I like. Normally I avoid wound strings like the plague because they have a short life...

    Message In a Bottle for Low D Bari

    Here's a simple arrangement loosely based on Sting's solo performance in London in 1985. I'm not great with getting the correct midi file out (it's too high), but it gives you an idea. The original was in C#minor - I moved it to Am to make it fit better on the linear Bari. If you played the...

    U-Bass Questions

    I am not a bass player, so I'm a little lost - maybe you all can help me out! I recently bought a U-bass (used) and subsequently picked up a Fender B-DEC 30 bass practice amp at a garage sale. When I play the U-bass thru the B-DEC the bottom string is essentially inaudible. I think this...

    Take your uke to the ICU!

    Funny story. Recently spent 3 days in the hospital, 2 of them in ICU. My wife brought in my Pono and I spent 3 days fingerpicking instrumental songs. I claim degree of difficulty points since I had an IV in both hands for the entire time. It was a huge hit. Apparently the bar for what...

    Liloa's Mele (Grandson's Lullabye) by Sonny Chillingworth

    I have adapted this slack key guitar song in Taro Patch tuning to a re-entrant Bari uke. You can use the tab on any uke and it will work if you tune to Taro Patch (lower string 1 from A to G). It would also work well on a re-entrant uke and would have more of the alternating bass which was...

    That Flaming Ukulele In The Sky

    All, I discovered this gem on Youtube and had to do it. I just introduced it at a Uke picnic this morning. I'm not sure about the melody - I can't find it so I tried to transpose it off Youtube but I'm not too sure about the chorus especially. If you know the real notes, please correct...

    Hi, I'm working on a Rob MacKillop fingerpicking piece and I'm a little uncertain about the left hand fingering (I'm left-handed). I put it into Guitar Pro and assigned the fingerings I think are best, but they will require me to practice them so I would like somebody more experienced to look...

    Custom uke settings for Fishman Aura Spectrum DI?

    All, I have a Pono Pro Classic Bari, Spruce over Rosewood. For Christmas I got a fishman aura spectrum DI. This has some "magic" where they mic an instrument and then record the pickup and do an analysis to take the pickup and transform it into something close to the mic. The secret is...

    How to safely clean strings?

    I am using SouthCoast plastic strings on my uke and they seem to get oily and sticky from my fingers. What is safe to clean these with? Do they absorb water like nylon or is that safe? Is soap bad? thanks Dennis
