    Sticky Neck

    I’m curious to know what players with higher acid in their skin are using to reduce the shiny “sticky” feel on the back of the neck. I’ve always had this problem on satin finished necks (never on gloss necks) for all my stringed instruments (ukuleles, guitars, mandolins). I’ve tried steel wool...

    Baritone ukuleles without truss rods

    I could be wrong here, but it seems to be more common that baritone’s have truss rods. Which ones do not have truss rods? I know truss rods are becoming more and more popular in classical guitars, but I remember a time they didn’t have them (some time ago). Just curious to know which baritone...

    Sound hole straps

    Sorry for possibly starting another ukulele strap thread - but I am wanting to find a non-destructive, non-marring sound hole strap. I see there are many out there, some name brands and some off the cuff brands, but it looks like the D’Addario Eco Comfort sound hole strap might be a safe...

    Larger Sopranos

    Hello Everyone! And by larger soprano I am referring to body size, not scale length. Yes, a wonderful assortment of concert scale long neck sopranos, but I am interested more in a soprano scaled concert-ish body size. I understand this is more rare, but what sopranos are currently out with...

    Low G recommendation - different application

    Hello everyone - I have several ukuleles tuned in fifths tuning. I’ve been using the Aquila 31U (CGDA). Of course these are linear tuned, and after tuning one of my standard reentrant tuned concerts down to a reentrant fifths tuned CGDA (yes, quite floppy strings tuned down that low for the G...

    Ukuleles with fat C shape neck profiles

    In the guitar world, we call these baseball bat necks - well, at least back in the 80s and 90s we did. Basically a deep C neck profile. I love the soprano size ukulele, but a thin neck profile gives me troubles. I have a Pono mango and find the deep C neck profile on it to be perfect. My...

    Your favorite Martin copy

    Hello everyone! Certainly Martin has a well known history with ukuleles. While these classic instruments can come with a hefty price tag, I am very curious to hear what Martin copies you all are finding in similarities. Certainly it is more than just an all mahogany instrument. With budget...

    String set recommendations for reentrant fifths

    Hello all!! I have a couple of ukuleles tuned to fifths (CGDA) using the Aquila 31U string set (wound C and G). I would like to tune another reentrant, with a high C. The thing is, I think having the G string still wound might be a bit odd with the other three being unwound. However, in...

    Steel string baritone options

    Hello all! I’m looking for ideas for steel string baritones. I know of the Pono offering but was wanting to know of others as well - hoping they have narrower nut widths than the common 1.5” nylon strung baritones. I have the Kala Tenor guitar, which is an amazing instrument for the price...

    Filling tuner screw holes

    Hello gang. I have a recently acquired soprano that had the stock friction tuners replaced with geared tuners. I am wanting to replace the original friction tuners, which will obviously leave the screw holes visible. I am looking for the best way to fill these holes and hopefully be able to...
