I just changed the strings on my Pono Acacia Tenor from Ko'olau Mahana to Ko'olau Alohi strings and they sound great! I only had the Mahana strings on for about a week or so and noticed, especially when playing with a friend on his Aquila strung concert, that it was super quiet. My friend's...

sI just got a new Pono ATD with the Oahu hardshell case. I'd like to be able to carry it with a strap over my shoulder but as a standard hardshell case, it doesn't come with strap hooks. Do you know of any ukulele case covers or a harness that I could buy to carry it around easier? Thanks =)

I'm still relatively new to the uke, let alone getting decent sound into the computer. When I feel more confident I'll post a sound sample. Couldn't put this thing down today. I changed the C string to a non-wound and love the feel and sound of it. The more I look at it the more beautiful I...

First of all, I would like to thank MGM at Hawaii Music Supply for providing me with excellent advice and service. The Ponos were on back order for a month and customs held them almost another two weeks. MusicGuyMic answered all my questions patiently (I had many of them) and got it to me soon...

So, I've searched and read all the forums on high g vs. low g. And every time I figure out what I want to play, I hear something that makes me change my mind. Right now I've switched to Low G, which I love for songs like Hallelujah and Somewhere Over the Rainbow. I've even come up with a nice...

Patience has never been my strong suit. I began playing the ukulele about a month and a half ago and, after two weeks, decided to upgrade from my 50 dollar Lanikai LU21 I got from amazon. My price range was around $300. Not too much more for a decent beginner instrument, right? Well, I...

Aloha, Several years back I started playing the classical guitar and bought a book called 'Solo Guitar Playing' by Frederick M. Noad. The book has years of study in it and starts by describing best body/hand placement. Then it teaches you how to sight read music and play the guitar string by...

After a visit to the Aloha Warehouse in SF, I decided to start playing around with ukulele strings. Note that I'm not an expert, but in the spirit of these forums wanted to share some of my experience. I have a Lanikai LU21 soprano (upgrading to a pono atd as soon as HMS gets them back in!)...

Good day =) I am upgrading to a Pono ATD soon, and have noticed that my lanikai has a lot of scratches where the neck meets the soundboard (where I strum). Either this is normal or I'm not playing properly...when I watch Aldrine play on vids it looks like his fingertips are just touching the...

I recently picked up a uke after seeing a friend with one. I've played the guitar for several years, but still consider myself a novice. Ukulele Underground has given me a lot of useful information so I thought I'd join. Thanks for all the help! Mike
