    Low G Trying to figure out which tuning pegs brand(s) I should buy.

    I recommend waiting to get the ukulele and having it around for a bit. You may grow to like them, or at least tolerate them to not have to jump through more hoops trying to buy and change tuners.

    Nova U Mini modification - Silent Practice Uke

    Try this and see if it works for you… Take a microfiber cloth and drape it over the bridge and the first few inches of the strings. It will be softer without sustain. Move it higher (toward nut) to decrease volume more and adjust to taste. An unwashed sock may also work. :)

    Low G Planning on a Low G Concert. Help me choose?

    Would guess that the hole is plenty large. I have a few string through bridges and hole diameter is not a concern for low G strings.

    Question About Fly Me To The Moon

    Not spotting the hammer ons. But two alternatives are to use a slide or (easiest) to just play the notes separately, as if no hammer on.

    KraftGeek Music Stand

    One review noted that the angle is adjustable some, but not enough (horizontally) for some musicians that stand (like trumpet players?).

    KraftGeek Music Stand

    The whole shebang: stand, phone attachment, light, and case is $149 at Amazon. Looks nice if you travel with your stand a lot and it meets your needs (like not too heavy material to cause the length to shorten). Otherwise, much cheaper is available but likely not as portable or slick on its...

    The Tenor is King

    Fortunately, no matter how many people buy tenor ukuleles, my choice of concert is unaffected in all ways but one... there are less custom concerts to tempt me and my UAS. Perhaps a way of thinking about this is like the choice of ice cream flavors... you can choose vanilla, strawberry, or...
