    New Uke Day! Mya-Moe 983

    Got my new Mya-Moe ukulele today! I had it mailed to the school I work at since I knew I wouldn't be home to sign for it at delivery. It sat on my desk for half the day after delivery... until I could take it to my friend's house after school for a brief video/photo shoot of the box opening...

    Fusion F1 Limited Edition Ukulele Gig bag: Initial Review

    Traveled with Fusion and improvised fuse-on bag. So I finally traveled on an airplane with my fusion f1 and uke. Instead of shelling out for the fuse-on bags (which look cool and I would buy if I had unlimited supplies of money) I attached an existing backpack I had and it seemed to work out...

    Tabs vs. chord symbols

    So I came across Brittni Paiva's awasome cover of "Safe and Sound" by Taylor Swift and the Civil Wars http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBwBlIBfpYY and Brittni is kind enough to make the tabs available for free from her site...

    Gagnam Style

    So I thought I'd post this since I saw a Gangnam style Uke cover thread. I'm a teacher at a high school and for our homecoming pep rally it is traditional for the teachers to put together a little dance routine for the kids. Well this year, the teachers putting it together came to my room...

    Can your uke live in a gig bag?

    I recently got a Fusion F1 gig bag (review thread here: http://www.ukuleleunderground.com/forum/showthread.php?69279-Fusion-F1-Limited-Edition-Ukulele-Gig-bag-Initial-Review) I'm loving the bag, but my question is, can my uke live in the gig bag? Or would it be better off back in it's hard...

    Fusion F1 Limited Edition Ukulele Gig bag: Initial Review

    After much research and deliberation, I took the plunge and ordered a Fusion F1. It took two weeks to arrive from AudioworksCT in Connecticut (they had to get it from Fusion in the UK and then ship it to me) and set me back $210 which included shipping. So here are some overview shots...

    Uke Travels

    I haven't seen a thread about where people have traveled with their ukes. I'm at Interlochen Center for the Arts for our high school marching band camp. I brought some ukes with me and plan on taking some pics of me and my ukes here at Interlochen. I thought it might be cool to start a thread...

    Song Help Request Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen

    Not sure if these are the original chords, but here's a good uke cover http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b7okcXYnz0&feature=related She uses G, em, C, D7 (Standard I, vi, IV, V7) it's the same chord progression used in all of your "four chord" pop songs. :) Hope this helps.

    Anyone have any experience with this thing? http://www.fusion-bags.com/products-in-ukulele-gig-bags/f1-tenor-ukulele-limited-edition-2011-69719 Looks crazy... crazy looking (not necessarily a bad thing though, I kind of dig it) crazy protective (lots of foam...) crazy modular (you can attach a...

    Reununion Blues gig bag vs. Mono M80

    From my thread browsings it seems that these two bags are the consensus top ukulele gig bags. It seems that they are also pretty even across the board as far as their supporters. Is there a way to pick a consensus number 1? A couple questions I have: 1. Is the RB gig bag waterproof? The...

    Song Help Request Mraz "I'm Yours" for guitar & uke

    I will try to take a stab at this... when your son plays a G on the guitar with no capo, it is a G. every fret covered by the capo I believe raises the pitch a half step, so if he placed the capo on the second fret and played a G shape, the chord that sounds would in fact be an A (G up a half...

    Song Help Request Mraz "I'm Yours" for guitar & uke

    It could also be a chord voicing thing. I've been trying to play some songs with my friend on guitar and even if we are playing the same chords things don't always sound how we think they should because of chord voicings. Chord progressions that sound great on uke sound wonky when played on...

    Pono and Koolau necks

    I have a Pono uke that I really enjoy, though I had heard (and it seems to me) that the neck on my Pono is a bit "beefier" than normal. I don't really mind it as I have pretty large hands, but it definitely feels a bit bigger than my Kala. 1. Are Pono necks bigger than most? Or is my Kala...

    Vendor/Builder Boards

    I think it would be great to have a vendor review board where UU members could go to share feedback on uke shops, both brick and mortar and online. Most forums I've been a part of like this one have had some sort of vendor board. Some have had vendor boards where individual vendors could set...

    If You Want to Start an Ukulele Club...

    How to start a club? I think it would be awesome to start a club in my area, and I think I would have a good base of people to draw on since I am the orchestra director in our school district. The problem is that I have just recently gotten serious about ukeing in the last 6 months or so...

    Greetings from the mitten!

    Hello from the great state of Michigan. I got my first uke 10 years ago when I visited Hawaii with my family. I've been dabbling on and off since then but really started getting serious about learning to play more the past year. The wealth of material on youtube and great sites like UU have...
