    My Jupiter Creek arrived today..

    As the title says, it's here. My Jupiter Creek Soprano. And it's a little thing of beauty. But in all fairness it's closer to concert scale. So I listed in my sig. as Soprano/Concert. I foresee only one issue. My fingers have to build up some callouses. I'll post some pics soon.. In the mean...

    I think I found my ideal uke size...

    Having gone through soprano, concert and tenor I've found my concert uke as my go to uke. But I still have an order on a custom sopranino uke by Agrappa ukes. I've yet to try a baritone uke. But mark my words it will come as well. But still of all my instruments. Of which I have more than my...

    Tech as a valid practice aid....

    I just got myself an iPad. And I have found it to be an asset in my musical arsenal. I am by no means an Apple fanboi. Actually I'm more of an apple hater. But that is from a tech standpoint. Of locking down everything and making us depend on a sole software repository etc. but that's why we...

    Electric steelstring ukes.

    What are the options here? Jupiter Creek and Risa are 2 options. Monkey Wrench is another. But those are the only ones I can think of right now. I'm in the market for a steelstring uke. And sofar Monkey wrench and the Risa LP tenor are the only ones worth looking at. Are there any other options?

    Doping in Cycling... UCI f..ks up AGAIN.. :(

    It seems that mr Juan Pelota AKA Lance Armstrong has been aquitted of the doping charges against him. This to me stinks of something unmentionable. Here's a 7 time Tour De France winner that has systematically doped himself and cheated others of well deserved glory and credit. This would not...

    Cordoba 20CM Concert Mahogany solid wood ukulele.

    I just walked in the door with a brand spanking new Cordoba Mahogany concert uke. I will post a more detailed review later. But first impressions are solid. The body is made of solid Mahogany. The finish is good, though it has a couple of small dents around the sound hole rosette. Not a big deal...

    No uking for a while..

    Guess it's a uke hiatus for me. Last night a moron broke my finger. Glad I blocked. Otherwise the full beer glass would be smashed over my head. I can live with the finger being snapped. What really gets me is the loss of income. I'm out between 6000-7000 usd. s** happens..

    I want a hardcase for my tenor Eleuke..

    I'm in the market for a hardcase for my tenor Eleuke. I've looked around. Couldn't find anything appropriate. So I may have to tap into my trade background and bite the bullet. Meaning DIY project. So I'm thinking a square hardcase made out of plywood. Possibly 2 layers. For covering the bugger...
