I prefer darker and warmer colors and the old site really did look great also, I am a UI professional and would be willing to help put something together if there is a need

Recently I have been using a particular ukulele strap with leather ends, and it makes a squeaking sound while I am playing as the leather makes friction with the wood of my ukulele. The sound is amplified by the instrument's resonant chamber and I find it sufficiently distracting that I decided...

Heads up to anyone who enjoyed Daniel Ward's Arpeggio Meditations for Ukulele: I got an email message today indicating there is a new edition coming out! Melodic Meditations for Ukulele! Anyway, I'm pretty stoked. I'm definitely picking up a copy. :drool:

This is going to be an odd and embarrassing question, but I recently noticed that there was a fair bit of me accumulating inside of my new ebony-bodied ukulele. Mostly I think it is bits of dandruff from my beard (eww gross, I know.) Peering in through the sound hole I can clearly see the dark...

Howdy ukers -- does anybody regularly use a hygrometer in their instrument cases? I have been doing a little thinking and shopping around online and I was wondering if anyone has advice on how to effectively measure humidity inside a ukulele case. I managed to survive last winter with all...

After only one dry season of soundhole humidifiers, I really wish I could just leave my ukes out on stands around the house. So I recently began researching home humidifiers. It seems that if you live in a normal-sized house, you can get a home humidification system installed for less than...

Three ukuleles I have purchased within the last 4 months have developed buzzing on certain strings/frets up at the nut end of the neck. All three are high quality instruments, 2 of them luthier built. None of them had any noticeable buzzes when I first obtained them. These are wonderful...

The birds have won it all! 30 years an Eagles fan and we finally did it! If I had a webcam I'd be posting my uke rendition of the fight song! Woooo!

Maybe this is a slightly strange topic, but I find myself doing this regularly and I find it ever so enjoyable. Every time I take a ukulele out of its case the first thing I do is take a nice full inhale while sniffing the soundhole and appreciate the wonderfully woody aromas inside. Sometimes...

One week ago, I received my first deliberately sought ukulele, the Ohana CK-39! This is pretty exciting for me, as I find it to be a significant upgrade over the cheap Kala soprano that I stumbled into at the start my ukulele journey. First off, I must admit I am only ~4 months and now 2 ukes...

I find that sometimes, after I have written a post, when I submit it I will be shown a screen informing me that I am not logged in. I was definitely logged in when I started writing the post, or else I would not have been able to click the "reply" button because it is invisible to those who are...

I have been having trouble incorporating this chord because: - I need a good way to support the instrument - With all strings open, the support normally provided by my fingers on the fretboard is no longer available - I need to use my fretting hand to support the neck of the instrument in some...
