Jim, I know about that one, and it is probably what I'll wind up with since I can't afford the pono and there don't seem to be other options, but I'd really like a radius, I'm finding it really cuts down on hand pain for me.

I have a godin uke that I use for high g. Now that I'm starting to play out more, I'm finding I need a reliable low g 'plug innable' (that's the technical term we musicians use) to my amp. Ideally I'm looking for something solid body, already set up for low g, and with a radius fretboard. And...

Yeah, there is a point where I'm just going to order a 13 course lute...

I have one. I very much recommend it. Even without playing the harp strings they give a richness to the overall sound that i was really surprised by. I think for what you are getting the price is reasonable. Happy to answer any questions.

Thanks so much everyone! I wound up finding a bead in my 11 year old's collection that fit perfectly. I feel a little silly that I didn't think of this but... It has been very tentatively tuned up to pitch twice with no snaps!

That’s a picture of it, the bead won’t fit in the groove at all.

At some point recently, one of my strings on my harp ukulele snapped. There was a bead that cracked in half. I messaged the company, and they told me to buy a regular bead for a guitar, but it is not fitting into the slot correctly/I cannot figure out how to change the string. Has anyone who has...

Thanks all, great advice!

Thanks so much, this is super helpful!

playing instrumentals. a fair amount of clawhammer stuff, and some celtic stuff also.

I have the opportunity to play at a gallery opening in 2 weeks. I was just informed of it a few days ago. I said yes, because I need to say yes more, but a few things have come up: mainly that I don't have enough music memorized. I can play facilely from written music. I am considering using an...

OK, this is kind of Splitting hairs probably. I have a relatively nice ukulele, that I need to use a strap to play. I keep it in its case when not using it. Is it better for me to leave the strap on even though it means it will be in contact with the uke at all times, or take it off after each...

I am able to use most thumb picks for upstrokes as well... For me the biggest difference has been learning to use a nail file to shape the pick.

Jerry, yeah but just think about how good your dusting is thanks to them! (Byou know, the clawhammer book from Aaron is the only "instructional" book I have ever learned from successfully. I think he does a very good job in that book of starting with something painfully simple and then advancing...

They have actually been out for a little while so apologies if this has already been posted, but I wanted to throw it out there, Aaron Keim, who introduced me and many other Uke players to clawhammer, has a batch of 10 clawhammer tabs he has released...

I *am* lucky! I'm very excited to get it.

This is it, thanks! Also it’s miserable to practice!

Hi, does anyone have a good way to practice strumming all four strings of a ukulele, but only sounding one or two? So you can maintain a steady strum but sound a melody at times?
