Hello from Los Angeles!

[Rackmo]

Hello,

I joined UU couple months ago but just now getting to an introduction…
I’m new to the Ukulele but played guitar for 20+ years and Lap Steel/PSG for the past few years.
I became interested in Ukulele when I saw a few covers by Al Wood as well as a finger style lesson by Marco Cirillo on Youtube.
Even though the Uke has a (somewhat) limited dynamic range compared to guitar, I really love the tonality and feel of the instrument! I ended up buying a Kanile’a Tenor which I really like (the neck profile is great!) But after playing a Tenor for a couple months, I think I will buy a Baritone and tune it to GCEA just to have a larger body and longer scale length but w/ the same tuning… So if anyone is looking to sell a Kanile’a Baritone or Kamaka HF-4 Baritone, please let me know!

A big thanks to UU for providing such an excellent resource for this wonderful instrument!

Welcome to the forum, Rackmo. I escaped from LA back in 1975. Never went back. Lived in the Eagle Rock area near Occidental College. Whereabouts are you located?

Welcome Angelian @Rackmo. My signature shows where I'm located (I love LA, and the Dodgers). I'm a member of The CC Strummers, recently we've been meeting every other Sunday (July 17 is next) on the patio of Jackson Café on Jefferson near La Cienega, if you're interested.
