    HF-1 Opportunity

    Although I prefer in person local sales, several good folks have convinced me that shipping and PayPal are reasonable alternatives. So with that in mind, please allow me to direct your attention to my NH Craig's List listing for a Kamaka HF-1. Not stated in the listing is that I will extend to...

    Sold A $65 Guardian Vintage Case with a free Decca Soprano and for a limited time a set of Martin M600 strings!

    $60 is less than what I've got into this case and ukulele. I know it's hard to believe but, if you buy this Guardian Vintage Soprano case the Decca ukulele is free! And for just 5 bucks more you get a set of Martin M600 strings! Yes, those are Gotoh UTP tuners. Jake Wildwood re-glued the...

    Radius fret board on my Enya Nova U Carbon

    I was widening the nut slot to accommodate a low G string when I noticed for the first time that the frets had a radius! Got this black Nova U Carbon concert in a trade and never bothered to look at the specs. Plus being a black plastic ukulele it's hard to see that kind of detail. (unless...

    New New Password Requirements

    After inputting my two step credentials tonight I was asked to change my password. While I welcome the step up in required security, the new password routine is a bother. But, I guess better security comes with a price. Thank you for keeping us safe.

    Strings Low G for Enya Nova U Concert

    As the title suggests, I'm giving up on my Nova U Concert's stock strings and would like to try a set of low G strings. Has any one tried this on their Nova U Concert? Or, if not, are there any recommendations? I've tried low G strings by Worth and Fremont on wooden ukes but have no experience...

    A humidifier journey

    Humidifier season is starting up again here in Northern New England so I am gearing up for the duration. One of my first ukuleles came with a Herco humidifier. Following the instructions I soaked it in water and put it in the case. Easy except that I couldn’t tell when to re- soak it. So I...

    Perhaps not the best use of our time but an expiring mind wants to know.

    I find myself with three ukulele straps, two of which need to be removed before putting the uke in its case. So having nothing better to do with my time today I'm wondering if there is a right way to attach a strap to a ukulele. What do you all think?

    Strings Yet another string thread. 😀 Ko’olau Alohi high g

    Just changed the strings on my Ko’olau C1 concert from Worth Brown low G to Ko’olau Alohi high g. The first thing I noticed was how quickly the strings settled in. They were stable in a day. Sound wise they are like Aquilas to me and I’m impressed by the balance between the strings. They are...

    Baritone Bodied Soprano

    I capo my baritone up to GCEA because I'm too lazy to convert the chords in my head. And as I was noodling around it struck me that I was playing a large bodied soprano. (Baritone body + 14.5 inch scale) Best of both worlds, easy to reach chords and great sound from the large body.

    Done! Ukulele Underground Stickers

    Amazing Amazon packing

    Just received an order of Nongshim mild Neoguri ramen from Amazon today. Unfortunately, I also ordered a five pound bag of cactus potting soil at the same time. So I open the box and see a half empty box with no packing material in it, a sturdy bag of cactus potting soil and a totally crushed...

    Anniversary

    Ten years a go today I joined the Ukulele Underground Forum. Thought I would mark the day by becoming a VIP as a way to help "pay it forward" for all of the help and good karma this place has allowed me to experience.

    Backlog Island Music Network

    Is the Island Music Network website, https://islandmusicnetwork.com/, still maintained by the Ukulele Underground Team? It was a great resource for Hawaiian songs but has some structural issues these days.
