Hi.
Hello! I just joined and wanted to fling an introduction onto the forum.
I come from a musical family, play piano and sing (mezzo soprano range). I wanted to learn guitar but my glass wrist would not manage the neck.
I played a soprano ukulele for a few years and when the poor thing cracked, I went to a used music store and found a cheap baritone ukulele. It appears to have been handmade somewhere in Central America, and it's a precious thing to me now. I had no idea when I first picked it up that the baritone is basically the bottom 4 strings of a guitar!
The band that I'm in, which is run by a friend of mine, is on hiatus while my friend's house gets major repairs. But I still play my baritone a bit and sing to myself and my lovebird. :) We mostly play middle eastern music, usually Turkish or Egyptian.
Oh, and I like to garden.
Ok, nice to meet you all! |

Hello! :] I really want a great quality ukulele but I'm slightly overwhelmed by all these brands that I'm hearing. I'll like recommendations, opinions, reviews, links, videos of you? etc. Budget will be around $200-$400 (more or less). I've played a Lanikai & Kala concert. Both are nice but I think I want something larger AND louder. A loud/bright sound, you know? This Kala that I'm borrowing is pretty sweet and I'm trying not to get attached. Now that I have to babysit.. I'll be able to save up for one for me :D!! So yeah, TENOR? I like gcea tuning .. I was thinking maybe this mainland uke? |

Helloooo
okay so I just started playing the uke, I got it (a fluke) this past christmas so I've been playing for maybe 8 months? I've never played an instrument before, except I would sing and stuff. Anyway me and my friend helen who lives far away make music by recording stuff to our computers, and then we send it to the other person and record something over it, and back and forth like that. http://soundcloud.com/dayumyumsthat is us. I would really appreciate if you listened and told me what you think! |

Mahalo U-30?
Hello! I've been wanting to invest in a ukulele for quite some time, and I've got a lot of the theory, but now I just need to know if the ukulele I want is worth it. At the local music shop, they sell Mahalo U-30s. Does anyone own one? Do they stay in tune for longer than 5 minutes at a time? I greatly appreciate any help! Thanks! Current Mood:  content |

Hello! I just joined the comm, so I thought I'd better introduce myself. I'm Lisa, I'm from the UK and I just bought a Ukulele today! I'm so excited! I have absolutely no idea how to play it, but I can't wait to start learning. It's such a fun little instrument and it sounds of happy. |

hi there! i'm a new member, and i have some simple questions! i have a beautiful soprano ukulele, and i'm finally getting around to investing in a case for it. i want a hard case, preferably not black. (I'm picky, i know.) i saw a swell tweed one just about everywhere, but someone around here already has that. does anyone know where i can get a hard-case? if so, an old, vintage one- if possible. |
