I never recorded an electric instrument, so can't really answer you question. But I recorded stuff with a Blue Yeti, and I dont really understand where the mixer comes in.
The Yeti is a USB mic,...

Some of those seem a bit pricey.

The FSC mahogany concert looks nice, but $2399?
When the C1K is 499?

Well, this one you I recently played at the Zoom thing, but I haven't put it on Youtube before.

I looked it up for uke4ias Season 437 "Aint No Mountain High Enough" season back in the summer, but...

Interesting subject.

There are probably people here with more knowledge than me. But for what it is worth:

Some of the oldest brands still in production are Kamaka and Martin. Still, there...

Here is a Van Morrison song for you.

I covered it before, but that was on my old channel and without the bass in there. Sorry...

There are a couple of songs that I practiced last year, but didn't manage to learn within the week.
I hope I can manage to finish one or two of those this week :-)

I dont rotate.
I pick the ukulele that I believe sound right for a particular song. That does mean that some ukes dont get as much playtime as others. I just sold one uke, I am down to 6 now. I...

Happy birthday!

Learn recording and production skills, so EQ and compression doesnt just ruin the sound.

Practice multi track recording, to improve my timing. That might help me if some day I find some fools who...

My favorite horror movie is The Orphanage.

A spanish movie, and a bit of a master piece imo.
It is creepy scary in an underplayed down to earth way.
Actually the plots seems to make perfect...

Perhaps I will try tapewounds some day.
I bought some half rounds based on the comparison in the link below. I am not using an emerald bass, but those spoke the most to me. Still havent changed the...

Is this a new years resolutions thread?

"this year I will not buy more ukes!"
Come february: "Oh, this new model just came out, and this one is on sale..."

They offer either Kala UC Hard Polyfoam Ukulele Case, or the Kala Vintage Alligator Hard Case. Both say "Uke Crazy" on them.
Anyway, I opted for the Hard Polyfoam Case, since I dislike the faux...

When I think of it, the baritones range would probably suit me better than the tenors, when I play the way I play an ukulele.

Often I will play some jazz standard and sing the melody, then have...

@Jerryc41
Thanks for the idea, but I am hoping to find something that fits perfectly as is.
Otherwise this will adapt a tenor case to fit it of course.

@Snargle
Thanks for the suggestion....

Hi Forum,

Any recommendations for upgrades to a case for Cocobolo concert ukuleles?

I bought mine with a uke crazy case. At least it says uke crazy on it, dont know if there are more than one...

Same approach to nails as ripock here.

I use nail scissors (or are they called shears? Not native english speaker here) rather than the clippers. I find them more precise and gentle to use.

You post doesnt specify how low a range you need, for what purpose.
I mostly play reentrant, except when I need those five extra semitones in the low end for a melody or for one of those rare songs...

Which scale is your ukulele?
Low G is a common choice on tenor ukulele, a bit rarer on concert ukes, and not very common on soprano ukuleles.

I would say just order some strings and try them out....

Charlie B once covered this song, which I like.

Tried my new acoustic bass guitar on it. A bit too ambitions it seems, but it is a learning proces. Never played bass before it arrived last week. ...

Nice to see more the post is still getting attention :-)

My 34" ABG arrived a week or two ago. I havent played it enough, but hope to find time to record a bass/uke recording for the Seasons of...

I have the Abe Lagrimas book.

My verdict:
If you know a bit of non-uke-specific music theory, just skip this book and go straight to the songs you want to play.
If you don't, it gives a bit of...

I am not, my UAS is cured!

Last year I bought a 47 year old Kamaka, which I believe had the original black nylon strings on... Or very old strings at least, proving that nylon strings can indeed get too old. I guess those dont...
