Hi, I've been away from the forum for a while but I'm after an 8-string uke & after seeing the options available I've really fallen for this one. The only problem I've got is that I've never heard of them & it's looks as though I'd be having to buy in from abroad? Just wondered if anybody had...

Firstly, apologies to anyone who clicked on here thinking it was a guide, it's a request... Check back after a few replies though & hopefully there'll be some useful info here!? So sorry if this has already been covered a million times, I'm not a newbie to uke but transposing has always baffled...

First of all, howdy... Haven't been on here for near 18 months... but I'm back now. My uke playing has been coming and going in the mean time, go through phases of playing a lot then not playing at all. Have given myself a large boot up the rear and got playing again. Anyway, onto the topic...

I just got hold of two Tangi mini ukes a few days ago. Really love them, though my fingers are still sore from tuning them. Haven't managed to master the tiny frets yet but have been able to get a few little tunes out. There are big differences between the two though. One is really nicely...

I was out and about the other day and I came across something that I think makes a very good uke hanger. These things are sold as tool hangers, but they fit a uke real well. I've photographed the hanger holding my soprano, concert and banjo uke. Ofcourse I'm holding the hook, as we're looking...

Unfortunately though, Koa is really quite expensive, so couldn't afford that much of it... Actually managed to get two of these bad boys... Not mastered the tiny fretboard yet though!...

Who managed to get one?...

Hey guys, I've been a long time away from the underground... wish I had something really interesting or cool to say I'd been up to while I was away but... er... I haven't!? :S Anyway, on to the matter in hand... Eleuke... Does anybody know if such a place exists within the UK where I may be...

I've found a tab for Sunny Afternoon by the Kinks, but there are some chords missing. I've just been skipping the chords, or using something else. But I wanna know what they are now... The chords are at: http://www.ukulelesongs.com/uke/ukulele_chords/music/tabs/The_Kinks/Sunny_Afternoon.php...

Rightio guys, who feels like helping a fellow uker out today? Basically, as you may or may not know, I recently bought a banjo-uke. Well I always knew about "D" (ADF#B) tuning and how most banjo-uke players prefer that tuning as it's bolder and pluckier and such. Well at first I just tuned it...

I'm stuck in a rut. It's been prob near two years I bought my first uke and I'm getting frustrated. I look at people all around who play uke and how quickly they take to it. Truth is, I'm rubbish. I find myself just playing the same stuff, much to the frustration of my girlfriend. The problem is...

Hey guys, I'm so happy. After an AGONISING 4 day wait, my banjo uke came yesterday, first thing in the morning. Was horrible though as I had some (some being a hell of a lot) painting to do so unwrapped her, checked her over then had to basically go DIY all day. Was pretty late by the time I got...

Man, it's dead on here! What's happening, theres been no action on here for days? Maybe it's just everybody signs off when I come on? :P

Hey guys, been thinking for a long time about re-painting my beater uke. Well just the top and front face of the headstock. Still not sure but was thinking that maybe I could do the headstock first and see how it goes? Can anybody give me some advice on getting a perfect finish? Prob gonna go...

Does anybody know anyone or anywhere that makes custom headstock transfers? Also, can hey be clear coated over?

Hey guys, after years of longing I finally got a banjo-uke! Well, when I say 'got' I mean I've just paid for it, hopefully arrive Saturday or Monday! I've been waiting for two weeks to get paid to buy this out of the classifieds, hoping it didn't get sold and finally today I transferred the...

Talk to me!... Any good? Been after a cedar top for a while and this one shouldn't break the bank... plus its Stagg so should be pretty reliable too, huh? http://www.dawsons.co.uk/acatalog/stagg_uc-60s_concert_ukulele_cedar_top.html

Hey guys, I've got a friend who is looking to buy his first ukulele. He has his eye on a Luna, I don't know which one other then he wants an electro-acoustic one. I was gonna direct him toward Kala or Lanikai perhaps but these Luna ukes seem to be getting some positive feedback. Any opinions on...

Right guys, I held off posting on here because here isn't a uke involved but I'm not getting a lot of response from the guitar forums. Basically, my spare room (the music room) has come under attack of a real bad mould/mildew problem. My flat isn't the best for humidity in places, but for the...

Right, I'm gonna sound really naive but there is an instrument out there that I have always enjoyed the sound of. I saw one on T.V. a while back and decided then that I'd get one. I still haven't managd to find out what is yet though. Its an Asian/Indian instrument and it has that very...
