Hi All, I am looking to post a ukulele overseas from Australia. I haven't done this before and I would like tips on packing and method of postage. Are Australia Post reliable or should I go with someone like Fedex, DHL or Interparcel. Are there companies to avoid due to poor handling, loss or...

I have been wondering for a while if there is a way to look at member posts and threads in terms of country of origin. For example if I only wanted to search posts/threads from Australia and New Zealand. This thought came to mind when I was looking in the Ukulele Marketplace forum. I just...

I'm not sure who this guy in the photo is but he seems to have found the best room to play in. I think he's saying to the wife, darling if you can buy a closet full of shoes then.....

Great thread Rich. Lets hope there are an avalanche of photos. I never knew the future King of England was a plastic uke player:bowdown:

I was watching a video by UU member Pabrizzer where he was reviewing a Kala KA-TEM. He made note of the unusually small sound hole as well as the small size of the uke. See here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQJ8dhKSd44 I then watched another you tube clip of the same model instrument and...

Ukuleles are ......Heavy Metal !!:shaka:

As there are soooo many music tragics on this website I thought this might be a fun thread to start. I'm sure many of you have poured over lyrics analyzing their meaning. What are some lyrics that have amused or inspired you?

This is a homage to Nickie's wonderful post in 2011. I thought it deserved its own thread. Here is Nickie's original post: 1970: Long hair 2010: Longing for hair 1970: KEG 2010: EKG 1970 : Acid rock 2010: Acid reflux 1970: Moving to California because it's cool 2010: Moving to Arizona...

With some good quality moderate priced ukuleles coming onto the market over the last few years I am interested to know what owners of "high end" ukuleles see as being the difference in sound quality between their ukuleles and the lesser priced ones.

Hi All, I recently came across an amazing band from New Orleans called 'Yes Ma'am' who play upbeat 1920's string band music. Does anyone out there know where I can get ukulele chords and tabs for this type of 1920s music? Here's a link to their website...

As I have been considering purchasing a pre-1940 solid wood soprano or concert ukulele I am interested in peoples opinions on whether they actually sound better than modern instruments. I know price and brand are obvious factors here when comparing instruments but were older ukes built as well...

I was wondering if anybody out there knows anything of the history of Leilani brand ukuleles. It appears their origin is in the USA but now they are being sold (online only) out of Australia. The Australian branch is seemingly not keen to discuss the history of this ukulele. Please note this is...

Hi Folks, Has anybody out there bought one of the Maestro brand ukes made in Singapore? I like the look of the tenor UT-20. I am struggling to find a review or hear a sound sample. I'm tempted to buy one but cautious due to the lack of objective (non-company) reviews. love from...

Hi Folks, I'm a brand new member to this site. I live in Australia and have a question about purchasing a Gretsch uke (9120SM) online from Hawaii. Has anybody done this? Was the experience positive? Did your uke arrive in one piece? Did you pay import duty? Did you get a warranty? I...
