Maybe someone posted about this already. Martin is introducing a 0 Soprano made from sinker wood recovered in Belize. It costs $1,599, and it has Graphtec tuners...

I look at Mim's site occasionally just to see if she has anything I want. As far as I'm concerned, she's the best.

Watch out! A few years ago, I posted about the difficulty of making phone contact. Someone "tattled" on me, and the boss more or less attacked me for picking on him. I wasn't making a complaint. I was telling about my inability to speak to a person over the course of a couple of days. I...

Thanks. I'll look into that. I'll ask our jam leader tomorrow, since he's already converted his guitar.

I have seen other brands of planetary tuners. Look on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p4432023.m570.l1313&_nkw=planetary+tuners&_sacat=0

In case you haven't heard, Craig and Sarah will be running a five-hour concert on Saturday, 3:00 PM Eastern Time, to benefit the Maui Food Bank https://www.craigandsarah.com/maui I'll be at jam until 4:00, but I found a way to automatically record the first hour using Movavi Screen Recorder...

I'm looking forward to seeing them at the Funky Frets Uke Fest in a few weeks.

There is only one Flea/Fluke. All others are imitations. I don't worry about bringing mine to somewhere that might be considered "dangerous" for a uke. Baz has reviewed non-Fleas, and he seems to prefer the original. For one thing, it's 100% home grown, mostly in MA.

Working on finger picking, hammer-on, strumming patterns, chucking, and the George Formby strum can improve your sound. That's on my list of things to do - watch those tutorials on YouTube.

The way I understand it, the bottom four strings, when in the playing position, correspond to the ukulele strings, so I'll remove the other two.

I plan to remove two strings, yes.

I didn't realize that at the time. It is awfully big. They didn't use "Dreadnaught" in the description. They described it a "full size."

Interesting. That seems like it would be G-heavy. High G - https://www.stringsbymail.com/aquila-bionylon-high-g-tuning-classical-guitar-strings-128c-19219.html

Hey, I'm a pro - almost. 😁

Thanks. I think I'll just remove those two strings. I'll try it with and without a capo. The guitar came with a bag of goodies - strap, tuner, pick guard, picks, etc. The man in our group who converted his guitar moved the two center tuners so it looks more like a uke, but I think I'll eave...

I got a new uke yesterday, but it isn't a ukulele, yet. At a jam a couple of weeks ago, the leader had a guitar that he converted into a ukulele by removing two strings. I looked for a used guitar on eBay, and the prices were good, but the shipping was very high. Turning to Amazon, I found a...

I have ukes that are bluish, and I really liked the looks of the Black one, even though it's actually brown.

Tow comments - When I come to a chord I've never seen before, I play something in the same family. I would like to see the group pick a "difficult" chord and then practice just that one in various songs until we no longer find it difficult. What makes chords difficult for me is, 1. being...

I went into a "Smoke Shop" and asked for a bottle of lighter fluid. The guy had no idea what I was talking about. Alcohol is used as a fuel in various portable stoves...

A violin is a uke without frets, so I feel justified in asking a violin question. :) A friend bought her grandson a violin but one of the tuners is loose, so it won't hold tune. There is no screw to tighten. That's all I know about the instrument. The boy is nine years old, and he really...
