    Tuner upgrade on KoAloha concert (Gotoh UPT)

    Hi everyone, I finally got the guts to change the tuners on my KoAloha Concert KCM-00 at the weekend. I upgraded to gold Gotoh UPT tuners from the original friction tuners. Up close there’s not much comparison, the original ones seem to be fairly low quality material wise. I used the video...

    The Ukulele Store - Waikiki - any experience?

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with The Ukulele Store in Hawaii? Their website says they’re at 226 Lewers Street. They have what looks like a “pre fire” Maui Music ukulele I’m interested in but they don’t have an email address! Has anyone bought from them before? Any...

    FS: Two Pete Howlett Tenor Uke Wood sets

    Hi everyone, I'm selling two tenor uke wood sets I bought from Pete Howlett in October last year. The wood is amazing but unfortunately I haven't had the time to do anything with it and probably don't have the skills to do it justice. Both sets are in the condition we received them in from...

    KoAloha Concert ukulele - case suggestions?

    hi everyone, I have a generic hard case for my KoAloha concert which fits the uke fine length ways but it is too deep on the body side. I could fill the void with padding of some sort but as the case is fairly average quality, I was looking for something that is better overall and fits fully...

    New Ukulele Day - KoAloha Concert

    Hi everyone, I debated about getting a KoAloha when I got my first 'proper' ukulele but decided to go for a Kamaka. However, I saw this KoAloha concert KCM-00 a few days ago and couldn't resist this time. The uke is really well made and looks wise I think it's really impressive. The koa wood...

    hi (from a long time ago)

    Hi everyone, I joined here ages ago and used to post regularly but for various reasons haven't been able to spend much time with my ukulele until recently again so thought I'd say hi! From a quick scan I can't seem to find many names I recognise from when I used to post. No Deach or Dominator...

    I'm not one to complain but...

    I have to say removing the post count and member titles is a bit of a case of the majority suffering for the actions of the minority. It's a shame to see it go. I know this has been mentioned in a previous thread but that was locked and I felt the need to say something so here it is.

    Hotel California

    Hey this isn't my video but I saw this and thought it was good enough to warrant showing you guys. It's one of the best covers of Hotel California without singing I've seen for a while: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvQlzfRggRg

    Uke in the news: Jack Black

    I read in the Sunday Times' magazine supplement Style (in the UK) that Jack Black used a ukulele to play Beat It to some kids in a school in Notting Hill in London. Perhaps he got the idea from the UU lesson? Here's a link to the article, it's right at the bottom...

    Something by George Harrison

    Hey, This is my first real video so be kind! It's a pretty poor attempt in front of the camera at Something by George Harrison. It's work in progress but I thought I'd put up this take or else I'd never get it done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGw9lney2S8 Thanks to Dominator for the tab...
