    Leaving Solid Koa Uke in Car on Hot Day

    I need your expert opinions, UUers! I'm going out of town this weekend and want to take my KoAloha concert with me as we have a friend who we will jam (if you can call it that) with tonight some time. That's in Norfolk/VA Beach.

    UAS Symptons Appearing

    I've been playing ukulele for 5 days now and I'm already looking online at other models, particularly vintage ones. I have a passion for all things vintage (music, clothing, etc.) and ukes are no exception apparently. So help me understand a bit about the going rate on vintage ukes. Here is...

    Beginner Looking for a Koa Concert

    I've never played an instrument but have decided on learning to play an uke. I've done a bit of research (it's really never-ending, isn't it?) and would like to get a koa concert. Ideally I'd love to get a Koaloha but I feel I need to first prove my commitment before justifying the purchase of...
