It sounds and plays very nice. It - truncated by this STUPID forum!

I put in for an Ohana CK-450SMP back in May. It arrived this evening! It is so beautiful that I can’t find adjectives suitable to describe it.

The spalting is gorgeous. The abalone inlay is...

I am a HUGE dog lover! Seriously, I can - oh heck! I am so sick of this forum truncating my posts that I could scream!!!

Actually, the Title was supposed to be “So what about all those Arch Top Cases”. But, the stupid bug in the Forum truncated both the title and the body of my post. I redid the body, but somehow...

I

Because it fits with the notes in “My Dog Has Fleas.” It just wouldn’t work any other way: “Dog Fleas My Has,” “Has Dog My Fleas Dog,” etc. You see? ��

Somewhere out there in the great beyond, there

I always assumed that the tuning was identified as “GCEA” because that’s how the notes sound when singing “My Dog Has Fleas.” It wouldn’t make sense any other way, “Dog My Fleas Has,” Fleas Dog Has...

Jerry, I can’t help but comment on your ‘Signature,’ “....to many ukes.” Alas, but so true. We’ve had to put most all of our stuff in storage, and move into a one bedroom apartment while waiting...

Rafter, I think you’re right. The archtop case does look cool, and I suppose it is a bit stronger on the one side due to the arch. And, when carrying your Uke in it, people would be more likely to...

I just bought a nice soprano hard case, found it in Kala’s Clearance section marked down to $38.99. It’s an archtop case. It came with three compensating pads for carrying regular ukes. That got me...

Well, a C and a C6 are not the same chord. Neither is an Em7 and a G the same chord. True, sometimes a different chord will sound better to you than the one called for in whatever song sheet you’re...

I’ve always thought of it this way: first, one has to settle on a tuning, for example GCEA. Then one considers the Nut to be the same as one’s finger(s). That means, for example, that the open...

I just put a large number of Ukes into long term storage, waiting it out while we build a new house. I opted for

Hey! Where’s the rest of my post?

I'm giving my question a boost because I'm still interested in hearing from anyone who knows anything about this question. Anyone?

Good tune. Searched, but can't find the book anywhere.

I'm going to transcribe the lyrics, and run the tune through Chordify. It...

Got it. Thanks for the tip! :)

Anybody have an update for the above referenced link? Looking for Uke TAB for Windy and Warm. Thanks!

Well, CPG, I'm so glad you spoke up. I didn't realize that Merle himself was a thumb and index finger only picker. But, you're right, he was. For those interested, take a look, it couldn't be...

Snowdenn, you hit the nail on the head! ".... Your teacher almost sounds like a guitar instructor who teaches ukulele." That's him. Thing is, I came to him via a recommendation off a major Ukulele...

I think it was some other player that was advocating the thumb and index finger technique. But, Kimo is advocating it in exactly the same way! So, maybe my memory is faulty. Maybe it was Kimo...

Yes, I brought Kimo's playing to my instructor's attention. And, he couldn't quite get it either. We worked on my learning "Hallelujah" Kimo style. My instructor finally said Kimo was "hiding"...

In the picture, it looks like the player's wrist is too low, probably with the elbow down against the player's left side. Bring the elbow up, and raise the wrist. Then, the fingers will align...

I used Snarks for a long time. They worked fine, after learning their quirks, and always doing finish tuning by ear. In fact, Snarks are so cheap that I got one to keep with each Ukulele just to...

Over time I've become comfortable and happy picking with my thumb and index finger only, Doc Watson style. But, I started taking online lessons, and my instructor keeps insisting that I use all my...
