this is my friend salamandir and his C tuba. we're busking at Pike Place Market in the pic. (apparently you can post a pic here, it just needs a click or tap to embiggify it.)
everybody should be lucky enough to have their own sal!
I sometimes get the feeling that so many uke folk get so involved in the instrument itself, and proselytizing about it, that they miss some of the fun bits of playing with others.
how many of you reading this are members of a uke club? do you regularly have someone there holding down the bottom end? doesn't have to be a tuba, could just be a regular bass or bass guitar/uke. a bassoon would be jammin'.
whether or not you're in a club, think about forming a little combo where you're the only one on ukulele. don't get hung up on "proper" instrumentation, just fill the roles in your combo with instruments and players who can do that given part of the sound.
it changes the way you think about the music when you do that, and it also does wonders for your uke chops.
plus it's just plain fun.
