    Strings String suggestions for Cedar on Rosewood?

    Flurocarbons. Oasis or Southcoast. I have that Pono Pro Classic uke, it's a winner and a keeper, especially since Pono will no longer be using rosewood. I just bought a Cordoba C10 classical guitar in Canadian cedar over EIR, and I have a rare Tacoma crossover in the same. Cedar tops are already...

    Stolen instruments

    I am so sorry, I really despise thieves, I've had so much stuff stolen, mostly my own artwork, basically finished off my career. I'm ready to say just chop off a hand or two when they are caught now, so honest people will know them, and they can be shunned. I used to be so compassionate, but...

    Any Violinists on here ?

    My mom played and was a prodigy. Her mom was first violinist in her dad's bands, then my mother was. He was the NBC Orchestra leader for quite awile waaaaay back. My Mom just died and I inherited a Thir and a Magini. I would love to take lessons but my uncle asked for them, and since he is dying...

    Guitar Forums

    I've been a member on UU since 2009, before that I lurked, I've paid for VIP and additionally 2 years on UUU which I don't use but paid anyway because the guys deserve the funds. But UU has changed so much over the last couple of years that I always seem to come away feeling blue. All the people...

    Are you fluffy?

    I would like to lose 25 pounds to get back to my fighting weight, but with menopause changes and low thyroid issues it is tough. When I eat even less my metabolism just slows down. I eat 1/4 of what my scrawny SO eats. I never had an issue with weight until I hit 50. Aloha shirts come in a lot...

    Bari Curious? Lanikai LU-21B

    Their least expensive baritone. Runs $129-$179 on Amazon. No case, it's a great wall hanger as it is laminate. Solid geared tuners. Straight neck with a comfortable C shape. Frets feel nice, good slick medium half round profile. I have notched the saddle and deepened the nut slot since they...

    Bushman Spruce top mahogany body Concert scale

    All solid woods, but I can't find out exactly what model this is, label just says BSC for presumably Bushman Spruce Concert. I'm guessing circa 2006-11. The only reference I can find to a spruce top concert in 'hog is a HomeGrown model, of which a few were made by luthier David Gill. I think...

    Kanile'a K-1 T Deluxe Blond Curly Koa with case

    As the title says, Kanile'a K-1 T DLX tenor uke. Circa 2009. Original owner. Very golden blond very curly koa, neck looks like matching koa on this one, and the photos don't begin to show the 3D effect of the curl, it looks deep and wet under the UV gloss finish with very high chatoyance. Has a...

    Blackbird Clara

    Just a quick review. I was last on the list for the road trip Blackbird Clara ukulele, I got it Christmas week which gave me little actual time with it, so this is just my overall take. It came strung with Oasis low G so that is all I played. I think it would do well with any flourocarbon, and...

    Has anyone seen Paul McCartney live?

    I saw him twice with Wings back in the days of Band on the Run and Venus and Mars. A friend sent me a phone pic from a recent concert. I wish I had a tenth of his stage energy to get me through the day! He is a living treasure. :cool:

    Best (in your opinion) Tenor for ~$1000

    Collings UT-2 or UT-2K or Pono Pro Classic with the slot head and radius, either Rosewood with a cedar top, or hog with spruce according to one's preference. Also a vote for the right Kanile'a.
