Does any one know what kind of neck joking sam Rosen used on his ukes. A friend's Rosen uke neck needs to be reset. Dowels?

From Jerry's wife, Janelle. Got a call from Thom of the Flea Bitten Dawgs to let me know. From Janelle's facebook page. " Gerald (Jerry) W. Hoffmann, age 75, of New Haven, MO passed away from complications of advanced melanoma on June 28, 2023. Jerry was the son of the late James M. Hoffmann...

Nice review Brett.. I DO hope folks take the "shootings" comment as tongue in cheek. That area of the city is pretty nice. Also, I would not call Uncommon Ground swanky. The food is good and prices are reasonable. Some folks do think it is just a coffee shop and it much more than that, but...

I did some work on a fellow member/friends uke. I changed the neck angle by slipping the back to get the action down. That worked out ok but the neck has a bit of a hump in the 3rd to 6th fret area and now the buzz is noticeable with the action set at a reasonable height. This uke has a zero...

Bruce. I don't think it is a good idea to paint it. A coat of Thompson waterseal or something like that would probably be fine. That is just a clear sealer. But it will be very expensive and a lot of work to get it done. It can be sprayed on with a garden sprayer or rolled on with a...

Man that is almost seamless. Great job.

Only one I saw was a two parter..

Ha! Who took the pic of YetiYeti while you were up on stage?
