For sale is a 1950s Kamaka gold label soprano. It is fantastic. Frankly, I am not going to write much about this, as this was repaired/restored by Jake Wildwood for me, and on his video, you can read everything you would want to know about the uke, listen to the sound samples, and just take it...

. Up for sale is a nice condition Martin 0 soprano, circa 1946-1956. I deduced its age based on when I was thinking of buying this uke here from feedback from others who are in the know . It is very nice, and a bit different than many Martin 0 in that it is a bit lighter wood. It plays very...

Hey all, I have not been super big into experimenting with strings, so I am appealing to you experts. I have a Talsma spruce top soprano that is by far my best playing uke. I love how it feels, and looks. But, I don't love the bright spruce tone. What strings would be most impactful in...

First, this is not a critique of anybody else, nor a discussion of what anyone "should do". This is just about my sharing a moment in my journey. A while ago, there was a discussion (it does not matter which one, again, this is not about judging anyone else) that really made me personally...

Well, we have there for several builders, so I wanted to start an appreciate thread for the work of Dave Talsma. For those who do not know his work, he has been making innovative, creative, and amazingly playable ukes for over 20 years. His ukes are played by Grammy award winning artists, jazz...

In another discussion, someone commented on how cool it would be if we posted pictures (and discussed, says I) our 100 year old ukes. Here is my 1920 Weymann enjoying being played around Colombia. It goes back to South America for a couple of months in about four weeks!

For sale, 2021 David Hanson, Cripple Creek, soprano ukulele. Red Cedar Top, Koa back and sides, mesquite fretboard. 13 3/4" scale with a 1 1/2" nut. Nice deep 2 1/2" body at the tail. Grover tuners. This is actually an amazing uke, if you like a bit of a thicker, fatter neck, and more spacing...

For sale, a 2021 Brad Donaldson Ulu Style 2 Soprano. Gotoh UPT, and Ulu top, back and sides. Ulu is breadfruit, and it seems hard to get really good sets that are big enough for instruments. This set was purchased from Pegasus Guitars, and is super sweet. This has a radius fretboard. It has a...

Given some interest in Gibson ukes on a sales thread, I thought I would start a general discussion thread here. Of course, I had to go into reverb to start checking them out. A nice style one by a dealer/repair shop with good reviews Ed also posted a good article on Gibson Ukes that I thought...

Well, not even a month ago I purchased, impulsively, this lovely uke. UAS at its finest--now it is your turn! ;) Here is what was stated in the original ad--only weeks ago: "For sale is a aNueNue Moon Bird Soprano purchased in 2021 from HMS with full set up. Made with Swiss Moon Spruce on...

Looking at a uke (soprano), and asked the measurement at the 12th fret. (I like action low) These are the numbers I was given (in inches). Bass side .110 ,4.32 Treble .100, 3.32 Is it normal to have differences in the action/measurement between the strings, and if so, any thoughts on this...

Kamaka White Label 1970/1980s. As you will see from the pictures, this is a super pretty Koa uke. Great shape for its age—the lightest strum marks only that are not visible on photos. Glad to show by video chat--this is sweet!. The Koa has that amazing holograph effect that you can often see on...

All ukulele vendors are fantastic!! Every one of them. I mean, each of them only sell perfect ukes, never with imperfections, always with perfect intonation, and only with the most lovely wood imaginable. The setups are always perfect, and costumer service is always brilliant. Packing--never an...

I really love the sound of my Kala Elite Doghair Soprano, big, resonant, sweet and a wee big of that hog' gangly. It just feels good (although, I am starting to think that radius fretboards are the way for me, but I digress). Looking around at what Kala is making in their Petaluma shop, I...

Dear Friends, As many of you are into the expressive/creative arts, I want to share that my latest book (number 18?), Poetry as Research, Therapy and Education: Selected Works of Rich Furman was just released. I am super honored to have published this book, although, I think I may be too young...

For sale, an amazing custom Brad Donaldson Martin Style 3 Soprano of incredible, wild patterned Myrtle. Made in 2020, this custom uke has peghead tuners, low action, and is amazingly playable. The sound of Myrtle on this uke is somewhere between Mahogany and Koa--it is really nice. So why am I...

SOLD SOLD SOLDI have only owned this about three months or less. I bought it from the second owner who described the uke very, very well! "It’s in genuine mint condition—no cracks (repaired or otherwise), scratches, scuffs, finish checking, or dings. Top is perfectly flat, and no fret board...
