Ukulele Underground, I come to you asking for help. Last winter I destroyed two Ukes while traveling in the extreme Alaskan winter for my job (SPED teacher) inter village. I was a little stupid I only carried a solid wood uke with a gig bag only. And the dolphin wasn't even in a case or bag...

Found this locally. http://alaskaslist.com/1/posts/9_General/55_Music_Instruments/335184_Banjo_Ukulele_.html Looks great. Spoke to the gentleman who owns it and seemed class act.

Why? I bought a guitar and have to pay for it. Specs: a couple years old. I bought it for around $400, I don't remember. It is solid mahogany with a few dings on it. Tried to photo them (hopefully you can see them). Currently strung low g and low a with worth browns. It's been in a case since...

I found a breedlove passport c200/smp on Ebay for less than $200 with free shipping. It was a floor model. Has a p/u and solid spruce top. Figured why not...any feedback on them?

My big little one "found" her ukulele. She was so excited that I had to let her carry it home. She carried it all the way to the house (not that far) and then when she fell down on the one ice puddle, she cried "My ukulele fell down!" and then she cried:( Notice her fashion?

Happy birthday to all the US Marines here on UU!! Happy 238th.

$600 Or BEST OFFER!! Unfortunately life happens and instruments have to be sold. Mele redwood top koa back and sides cut away tenor with misi and case. Uke is in excellent shape with a few dings around plug in from either installation of the pick up or me missing the hole (jokes are on me)...

It's an oldie, but a great one. Not greatest but it is a video. First one in a long time.

I took my outdoor uke on a 50 mile hike this past week. I left the uke in the car for about 4 days prior to my trip. I strapped it to my pack and went. First i want to say that this uke is one tough cookie. I have factory tuners still and i have not perfected tuning this uke, but i find drubbing...

First I will say that I have owned two different travel uke and still own one tenor travel uke. I DO NOT notice a difference in the ease of travel in using one of the travel ukes. The amount of space that the travel takes up is not that big of a difference. The tenor still won't fit under the...

If anyone has a preferably blemished/second eleuke tenor or concert I am looking for one. I need something that holds up to the extreme weather I encounter while traveling.

I'm a teacher in Alaska. Not on a road. In the middle of nowhere. I travel quite a bit from village to village. I have already had three ukes damaged by the extreme temps (low of -43 so far). I am thinking about getting a flea or fluke for next school year. Is there any other recommendations? I...

I know this topic has been discussed before but is it rude to privately contact sellers when they are selling a uke that is overpriced. Not necessary here but even on ebay? I have been guilty of chiming in on FS ads here and I try not to voice the whole not a good deal, but what about...

Want to Help some kids learn Uke? I have started a new uke club in the Alaska Bush. We will be called the Bush Ukers or BU for short. I teach in a school that is 98% Alaskan Native (my nephew is the only non-Alaskan) and we are 98% free and reduced lunch. Money is a concern up here. Thankfully...

I am running this contest outside of UU but decided to do a UU only version: Shopping with the Eller Family Contest!!! Rules: 1. Estimate the cost of this shoppinglist (from our local store in the Bush of Alaska). 2. No need to factor in taxes 3. It is ok to go over. 4. Please don't cheat by...

I was checking a ukulele dealers site and came across a Cordoba listed as koa. I know in the past there has been controversy over this and please don't turn this into a bash cordoba (I am bad about that). Are they really selling and making a real Hawaiian koa ukulele?

The purge continues. I have a Mele redwood top/koa back and sides tenor. I use this uke on the praise team so my price is firm on this one. Here is a thread with a video of it http://www.ukuleleunderground.com/forum/showthread.php?57647-Starting-them-out-young-) I will post the official pics...

I have too many ukuleles and too much debt. I'm moving to China in 18 months (unless something happens) and w are liquidating almost everything we own. First up is my koaloha crown bridge super concert. Build date of September 2009. Very Loud and proud koaloha. This uke holds its own against...

Took baby to Dr today for her one year check up...I took a uke with me. I got in the waiting room and opened the gig bag to see the bridge had popped off. I haven't taken this uke out of the bag for two Weeks so not site when it piped off. I did leave it in the car the other day over night. Can...

I'm not a fan of kala at all. I just wanted to get that out there. Nothing to do with their qualtiy just something personal with some behind the scene stuff. But...I have been wanting another 6 string uke. I let my last one go for a good cause and I don't have the money to buy what i really...
