I never worried or even thought about the humidity, but if you live near the ocean the salt air will do a number on the tuners.

There is a nobility to playing a ukulele with friction tuners, just like tuning by ear with a tuning fork. It makes people feel closer to the culture. Some manufacturers want to pass that experience...

I have three ukes and none of them live in a case. My best and most expensive I play all the time. The other two hardly ever get played. There is no rotation. The cheapie does hazardous duty once in...

I've been pretty happy with what I have so I did not buy another ukulele this year. I did buy two guitars though.

I haven't bought a uke for three years and don't expect to in 2021. That is, unless my good one gets broken.

Along the way when I was playing melody in a key that has notes that dip down below C I would play the chord instead. It sounded good, so sometimes I strum a chord instead of playing a note in places...

I like it.

Who is not planning on getting a new ukulele for Christmas, or during the holidays for that matter? I'm not going to.

Me neither, so there's two of us. And I'm not getting myself one for Christmas. I think this should be a whole new thread. I'll start it.

No, that is not what happened. I thought it looked like something fun to learn to play, so I did a little research and bought one. Then a year later I knew a little more about it and bought a better...

I don't look at ukuleles that are for sale every evening. I don't look at them at all. Seriously, not being judgemental, but why? I mean, are you just sitting around all the time looking for...

I don't know what time of the day is most condusive, but it seems to me that owning ten cheap ukuleles is most attractive to the impulse buyer.

When I first started playing ukulele a lot of lower priced ukulele were coming from the factory with black GHS strings and everyone here was trash talking them, saying that people should change to...

Interesting, I've recently purchased a Kmise mini chorus pedal for my electric guitar. I wonder if they are related. The pedal was dirt cheap and works well. I'm thinking about getting a couple...

Of the three that I have only one would even be worth selling, and that's the one I play and would want to keep. The other two aren't worth a hundred bucks put together.

Three ukes for me.

I am not in GC's mailing list, but I get Sweetwater emails every day, sometimes more than one a day announcing their great sales on selected items. However, when I go to the site absolutely nothing...

For an acoustic amp I use the Kustom PA50. It has been a good amp and it is clean. But I also have a Marshall and a little Vox electric guitar amp that are all set up in the basement roadhouse bar...

Playing the guitar the fretboard markers are pretty significant, on the ukulele not so much, although they do help orient myself to some extent, but I don't refer to them much on the uke. I would not...

Find three or four young strong men between late teens and mid thirties. Seriously, when my in-laws moved into their new house all of us young guys in the family lifted their upright piano up and...

Whichever you feel like. I mean, it doesn't really make any difference which one you use and I don't think you both have to play the same instrument.

I grew up in the country hunting and fishing. The first time my dad took me squirrel hunting we shot three of them and when he skinned them out they looked just like rats. I couldn't eat it. Sixty...

I got an email today from GC informing me of all their black Friday deals. It looks like they expect to keep going past Christmas. I don't think they are going anywhere. I expect a change in...

The great thing is that I am very lax about maintenance so there will never be a problem with overdoing something.

I've always used plain old mineral oil on fretboards. Back in February a friend seemed so offended by the practice that he gave me a bottle of Dunlop fret oil. I've been using that and a little bit...
