SOLD - 2010 SCGC Concert Ukulele (1929 sunburst) SOLD It took me quite a while to find this uke so believe me when I say it pains me to sell it. GAS/UAS/MAS ... you name the disease ... I have it bad. Santa Cruz Guitar Company was making reserve paired sets of guitar/ukulele when the 1929...

SOLD - 2013 Pono Macassar Ebony/ Pro Classic Cedar (ETSH-PCC) SOLD Sorry to see this one go but GAS has struck and it just won't be denied. As described by HMS, this uke is clean and crisp, rich with overtones and singing sustain, and coupled with a cedar top, the tone of this macassar is...

SOLD - Martin Style 3 Soprano - circa 1955-1959 S O L D ! In 2013 I was fortunate to find this vintage Martin Style 3 Soprano ukulele. From what I can gather, the original owner played it in a band in the mid-50s. He has since passed and his wife does not play. The uke is in excellent...

This uke is SOLD With a built-in OP-24+ preamp, the UAE148 is ready to take the stage and hold its own in the mix with other amplified instruments. Built into a traditional tenor-size, this 16-7/8"-scale instrument has a cutaway shape that makes it easier to access the upper fretboard. The...

SOLD: 2014 East-Start ESU-J584 RD Electric Uke This uke is one of ~20 ordered on UU as a group buy back in Dec 2013. Ordered from the same company (East-Start) that makes the E3 Evolve Kamoa Electric Semi hollow body carved top ukulele, this is essentially the same uke without the Kamoa name on...

SOLD - 2013 Kamaka HF-4 (Baritone) Between GAS (Guitar Acquisition Syndome), UAS (Ukulele) and MAS (Mandolin), I am in a constant state of flux. It has struck again and I must turn something to afford it. It is with reluctance I offer up my baritone. Made of Hawaiian koa wood, it has a...

It's just over a year since I began my ukulele journey. I have sampled over a dozen ukes from soprano to pineapple to baritone. There are so many great builders and instruments out there. No way to own one of each. Just going to have to be satisfied going to jams and trying other folks special...

Been playing the uke now for just over a year during which time I have been able to sample four sizes (soprano, concert, tenor and baritone) and have acquired at least one of each. There is one that stands out as best to my ears (timbre and tone) and that is my John S. Kinnard Series 3 Tenor...

Here I go again. Don't know what I'm thinkin'. Been a guitar player since the late 60s and recently (Spring 2013) took up the ukulele at the behest of a couple friends here on the forum. As if juggling guitar and uke wasn't enough I've decided to throw a mandolin into the mix. Actually, I've...

I've been a guitar player since the late 60s and only recently (2011) began to appreciate and understand fit and finish and tonewoods. Until 2011 I was fat and happy with my Cedar topped Mahogany b/s guitar. Took it everywhere, never humidified and really didn't give it that much thought ... I...

Roy Cone from http://www.ukuleleworld.com just out sent a note about some new strings called Aquila 100U Super Nylgut. He says quote: The greatest news about AQUILA Super Nylgut ukulele strings is that they achieve the required pitch and stability IN A FEW SECONDS with an acoustic output even...

SOLD - KoAloha Pineapple Sunday (KPSM-03) I have been at this ukulele thing for less than a year during which I have purchased and played some really nice instruments. It is now time to start a rotation in order to keep the number of instruments here at home in the reasonable range. I would...

There are many occasions I find myself reluctant to carry my high-end ukes with me for a jam or outdoor event. Call me paranoid but I just don't want anything to happen to them especially by someone elses "accident" or environmental changes. As many of you are aware, Blackbird Guitars recently...

I'm pretty excited. It's been a long wait. There's been a lot of discussion about this tribute ukulele, pro and con. Many think it should have been an exact replica of IZ's uke. Being a tenor man I am very happy they decided to go with this size. It is awesome! Martin has done an immaculate job...

Read here on UU about someone who was looking to get a Santa Cruz uke to replace one they sold and was haunting them. Got me thinking cause I have a couple nice Santa Cruz guitars both of which are incredible instruments in both sound, looks and build quality. I can't seem to find anything...

Harrison loved the ukulele! Hope you enjoy. :)

Would like to be able to enter a thread and be able to go right to posts in that thread that I have not read. Here I can go to the first page or the very last post but not where I left off at my last visit.

As you may know, I commissioned a tenor ukulele from KinnardUkes.com back in September. Well, I'm happy to report the NUD was yesterday. If you missed it, the build thread is here. This little uke is drop dead gorgeous! No other way to say it. The fit and finish are perfect! I'm a pretty picky...
