    All-in-one effects pedals?

    Hi, all. I bought a Digitech RP250 a few years back and I wondered if newer all-in-one effects pedals are better?

    Silver Creek Vintage Tenor Ukulele Case -- Poor Quality

    :( Ungood. This item just arrived from Musicians Friend and I'm returning it. For $70 it just isn't worth it. The lining isn't properly glued to the interior, the neck support is much too tall, and the body well is much too deep. I know there are some postings detailing how to fix the neck...

    Myrtle/Redwood tenor -- good cooking up Oregon way

    Perry and Terry of Covered Bridge Ukuleles are in the kitchen mixing up something special for me! They're slicing up some yummy myrtle and redwood for a delicious GoKidd Special tenor. Thass a link that'll take you straight in the kitchen. Terry -- does one of those tattoos read "Uke Chef"?

    Taller frets -- is there a downside?

    Learned gentlefolk: I'm contemplating a custom tenor and wondering if I might benefit from taller frets than I've experienced on my Kala and Islander instruments. Is there any negative to using a slightly larger fretwire? Secondarily, I'm also wondering if a narrower neck is my preference. I'm...
