    Unknown ukulele acquisition...

    It’s not a Harmony (Harmonys have square headstocks). This was made by United in New Jersey. 1950s. Compare to this one: https://jakewildwood.blogspot.com/2016/02/1950s-united-made-baritone-ukulele.html?m=1

    trade feeler: Kala travel soprano for banjolele?

    I have a brand-new Kala travel soprano, solid spruce over mahogany thinbody, with matching gigbag. It was an impulse buy, one I should have resisted in retrospect. I played it for five minutes when I got it and knew the thinbody wasn't for me. So I packed it back up and it's been sitting for...

    I'm continuing to clean out my bookcases. I bought these when I had the brilliant idea to try bass guitar. Don't see why they wouldn't be applicable to UBass though! - Hal Leonard Bass Method Complete (Books 1, 2, & 3 in a single binding) - Hal Leonard First 50 Songs You Should Play on Bass...

    FS vintage Mastro plastic banjolele clock!

    I've enjoyed this kitschy thing for a few years now, but I think it's time for someone with equally bad taste to enjoy it! This was an ebay score - the story I got from the seller was that it had hung in a boutique guitar shop in Chicago for many years before he acquired it. It didn't work...

    FS Lanikai flamed maple concert w/ HSC

    Selling this like-new Lanikai all-laminate, satin finish, flamed maple concert uke with an equally like-new Musicians Gear hard side case. This is my son's uke - he's had it for 5 or 6 years, I think, during which time it has been virtually untouched. He's a terrific trumpet player, and can...

    Harmonica resources??

    About once a year I decide I'm going to learn to play harmonica. So I buy one (because I can't find the one I bought the year before) and fuss around on it for a day or two before setting it aside. Mainly I think it's because I'm trying to do it without any instruction, and that clearly isn't...

    FS Kala longneck & Gretch camp uke - TWOFER DEAL!

    My son (the REAL musician in the family) needs a trumpet upgrade, so I need to free up some cash. Brass instruments are not cheap. For sale is a Kala longneck soprano (KA-SLNG) and a Gretsch Camp Uke (one of the modern repros, not vintage). Both are in fine condition, with only very light...

    R.I.P. Ralph Stanley

    The world lost another great musician last night...Dr. Ralph Stanley passed away at 89. I was fortunate enough to get to see him a year and a half ago. He wasn't able to play banjo that day but he sang. Oh, did he sing! What a voice! But there is one promise that is given, I'll meet you on...
