Watching it on my computer screen.

The Aux In requires an active (battery-powered) EQ preamp with volume and tone controls. Many (most?) electric ukuleles have this. Use your normal EQ (tone control settings) but turn the ukulele Volume up to maximum. I do not have one with a truly passive (no battery or chargeable circuit)...

Jon Duncan has a new song that just blows me away. https://halfacow.bandcamp.com/ Album: This Wicked Ol' Line Song: Ariel Ramiriez (Downloadable in many formats.)

Yesterday I cut a [tiny] bit of the pad off the tip of my fretting middle finger. No big deal, but there went my callous. I need to not use it at all for a week or so as it heals. However our strum group has a "show" next Wednesday, so I started working out how to play while my finger is...

On sale again. A good, very serviceable, hard case: Ohana concerts, Lanikai concerts, and Flight TUC-55 all fit perfectly, but the aNueNue C-4 (being a bit wider) will not. I'm buying did buy another, dedicated to my Fight. Musician's Gear Concert Ukulele Case Black Item #712790000001000...

kanikapila - a style of Hawaiian music produced in an impromptu jam session Has that been a topic for any of the UU Podcasts? It would be interesting to see a demonstration of how a "real jam" comes together showing what to expect. I am curious about how songs get started, and how it ebbs and...

If a saddle is compensated for a high g string, what happens to intonation when it is fitted with a thicker/heavier low G?

Here's the story of my aNueNue C4. Nice looking, with just enough character. Solid cedar top. Budget-friendly at $229 (plus shipping). Notes: 7 Sep, 2023 - Strung for linear low G. It's very nice. Not loud per se, but is clear throughout the midrange. String-string balance is good. Low...

These were purchased at 4 different times from 4 different places. They are all from the same series of a well-known brand. It seems odd that they are consistently "wrong" with the spacing. To be honest, I have never noticed it when playing any of them. It can be visually seen (and confirmed...

Desperate for an all-solid mahogany concert. Both are at Mim's: Should I? CK-35S Or? CK-35CE I mostly care about their acoustic sound (I have several Ohanas so I know what to expect for feel, general nature, etc.), but do not have any electric concerts. An onboard tuner is mighty nice to...

... with a cat name Gretzsky? Working on "Sealed With a Kiss" from the BB (296) and... well, he interrupted; no harm done. "... but darlin' you won't be there! ... and later, "knowing the love we'll miss." "... and seal it with a kiss." That (G-Am-Dm-E7-Am) just kills me.

The Boys in the Boat PG-13 2023 ‧ Sport/Drama ‧ 2h 4m Comments: Great choice of actors and flow. Not "twisted." No gore. A feel-good movie.

I did a search for Daily Ukule V3 and this is what popped up: https://www.facebook.com/jimbeloffmusic/photos/a.300069596850252/1974449532745575/?type=3 I'm not an FB'r but will definitely be among the first to purchase when "Another Year" is released. The Beloff's are soliciting suggestions...

You are only allowed one "notable" movie per day. What was it? 1 Dec, 2023 Christmas With the Kranks <edit> You do not have to play every day, only on those days (or the day after) you watch.

Grandma's pies... yum.

Multi-use chords for those of us who like to play in the first position. Here's a sneak peek. Try playing: 4202, 1205 (yes, it's a stretch), then 2203 or 5455. -"Chameleon" chord 1: (It is a perfect D7s2.) Notes: A D E C gCEA chord shapes: 2204, or 5455 But in chords where some notes are...

Would it be possible to fix the editor so I can use a "tab" to space over? That would enable showing things in true tablature form.

This I would like to do, using the 4th string like a banjo's 5th to add a few pretty notes to set the pace in the background while others strum along. None of that "ants on a Tennessee anthill" stuff, just icing inside the cake. Note: it does not have to be a banjo uke, but certainly could be...

I'm looking for a copy of Johnny Rector's Modern Guitar Chord Progressions for the Spanish Guitar Volume 1 (1956 Sheet Music) It has a yellow cover. I'll pay (PayPal or check) $10 + USPS book rate shipping. I have Vol.2 (red cover) and find it useful.

Does this bother anyone else? The sonic flutter makes it nearly impossible to tune my instruments. When playing, it creates a not-so-subtle high-speed wah effect for the uke and the voice. When I seriously want to play and listen, I have to turn it off. (I have one in every room in the...
