    Where Are You Currently In Your Uke Buying/Selling

    I posed this question on a guitar forum, and found the answers to be interesting/fun. So, I thought I'd do the same thing here and see what we get. This is just for fun. :) I tried to cover all the bases. No fair critiquing the pollster. ;)

    Show Us Your Favorite Non-Uke Instruments

    We love our ukes and we share pictures of them regularly (after all, this is a uke forum :rolleyes:;)). Knowing many of you also play other instruments, I thought I'd start a fun thread where we could show our favorite non-uke instruments. What you got? I'll start. My first love is...

    Song Help Request Name of this Song?

    Can anyone tell me the name of the song Corey is playing here? I have most of it figured out and just love it, but would like to know the song name, in case there is a full version (so I can learn/play the song in its entirety). Maybe it's not even a song, but rather just a clip of his own that...

    Flight Opinions Wanted

    I'm shopping for a second guilele to join my Pono MB-6 (which I love). I'd like a second one to use in a different tuning. There's rumors that the MB-6 and AB-6 are no longer available, but I have to call and see if that's true. In the meantime, I'm also looking at the Flight GUT850. I'm not...

    NBUD & Aloha City Ukes

    I'll make this brief, since most of you know about the Kala solid acacia series. I just picked up this baritone (KA-SA-B), after regretfully selling one years ago. With the advice of a fellow UU member, I decided to order it through Aloha City Ukes. My experience was wonderful. Matt gave me a...

    Tie Bridge Question-Fluorocarbons

    I'm going to be trying fluorocarbon strings on my Pono guilele. On the tie bridge, is the common method of tying the string (going around the string) twice sufficient to hold the fluorocarbon strings from slipping? Maybe the string type is irrelevant, but I wanted to make sure.

    Legacy Straps Question

    I found an older thread re a review of the Legacy Straps, but thought it might be better to start a new thread with my question. They look like quality straps. Though I'm a uke player, I'm actually looking to purchase a narrower strap like these 1" straps for use with my mountain dulcimers...
