Yes, it’s a laminate

Ooh, I like this suggestion. I already tuned it down one step and like it better. I bought new strings but the frugal part of me wants to use the strings it came with for awhile. I am appreciating it more Now that I am getting used to it not meeting what me original expectation was. by the way...

Thank you. Turns out the cost to return it is great enough that it’s not worth it to me to return. I bought some strings today with a low G so will try them. I will make it work.

Wow, thanks for that. I think I will just return it. I have sopranos that I love and a cheap Kala baritone that I love. I think this purchase was a mistake. I don’t want or need a louder sound, I wanted a baritone sound with a smaller fret board, meanwhile my short stiff fingers are adjusting to...

Interesting. I think tuning it down a full step is a good idea. I think I want it to sound more like a baritone and that might be part of my disappointment. I heard Aquila Reds suggested In other post. I am unfamiliar with those strings.

Hi, I’ve never been on UU I like forever. but I need some input. I just got the islander super tenor in the mail and I flat out don’t like it. It sounds dull, or flat. It doesn’t sing. I’ve never liked a uke less. It has Aquila strings, of which I’ve never personally been a fan of. So maybe I...

It is with a heavy heart that I am parting with my beloved 2012 Mahogany Mainland Ukulele. It has been a favorite but I am downsizing and only allowing myself one of each size/type and I have two sopranos. I am keeping my special order Donaldson. The Mainland has friction tuners because I like...

WTB Magic Fluke Flea Hello, WTB, or trade, flea or, maybe, fluke. I have a soprano and a concert mahogany Mainland ukuleles.

I am going to sell my 2006 Kamaka soprano. It is in very good condition and comes with a hard case. What should I sell it for?

New Ukulele from Brad Donaldson! I originally ordered this uke almost two years ago and when my build came up I had to put the order on hold because I was unemployed. I don't really consider this a "custom" uke because after agreeing on the wood I had Brad just make me the best little uke...

In Jim Beloff's 1st Daily Ukulele song book he has Fields of Gold. If you can read music notation you can pick the tune from that.

I know I can't resist a ukulele/pet thread. Mike your pup is very cute.

I have found that different books will show different variations of the same chord. D can be either of those patterns. Accept it should be either 2fr GCE or bar the 2nd fret and fret C. As another example D7 can be 2fr G & E or bar the 2nd fret 3rd fret C. I do what ever chord variation...

Since playing the uke, like all of us, I go to youtube to help learn new songs. I have watched some Johnny Cash vids over the last couple of years. This morning I watched a vid with Johnny & June Cash singing Jackson. Johnny Cash always had this hard guy outlaw image but watching videos of...

I am learning to finger pick on my concert strung in low G and having a buzzing issue. Seems that the wound low G string is much less forgiving regarding finger placement. If I am not just right on the note I get a little bit of a buzz. When lifting my finger off the low G string to move to...
