    Loudest soprano

    Look at Baz's reviews of sopranos with a score of 8.5 or higher. He always comments on volume and sustain.

    Tiny Tim & Bob Dylan

    When I was a kid, all kids had those hats. I still remember the words to the song.

    GotaUkulele Reviews

    I look forward to the new review every week, but I'm no longer tempted to buy - no matter how good the uke is. I have enough. Baz gives the best online reviews. They are full of facts and opinions, and you can balance his personal opinions with the facts he offers. I always recommend his...

    More Praise for the Revelator

    I brought my Revelator to our weekly jam yesterday, and I was afraid I was drowning everyone else out. I wasn't, of course, but it sounded so loud and powerful with its Low-G. Link to yesterday's jam. I had a 32GB MiniSD card in the GoPro, so I lost the last few minutes. The GPS ran for two...

    KraftGeek Music Stand - Add-On

    My group performed on Sunday, and I set up camcorders to catch the action. the KraftGeek music stand has a 1/4 - 20 threaded hole in the top for a light. I thought that would be prfect for a GoPro. I cut the head off a bolt and screwed it into the mount for the light. The GoPro threaded...

    My Bonanza Oreo

    The Bonanza Oreo tenor is a great uke. I brought it to a session yesterday, and I was impressed by how loud it is and long it sustains the tone. One thing that surprised me was the very high action. I didn't measure it, but it is definitely high. I'll have to sand down the nut and the...

    Glued butt joints for neck to body

    I'm not a luthier, but I use glue in addition to screws or dowels.

    Need fret pressing tips

    I can sympathize. Yes, wider fret wire seems to be easier to work with. Some builders put a bit of super glue into the slot. A press, store-bought or homemade - is the way to go.

    KraftGeek Accessories

    I continue to enjoy using my KraftGeek music stand. A friend ordered the whole kit, and I thought about getting the light. However, after reading reviews, I changed my mind. It isn't rechargeable! Everything is rechargeable these days! You use three AAA batteries, or you plug it in. One...
