There has been many post about pain in the left hand and thumb when playing guitar and or ukulele. I was wondering if squeezing fingers together on a smaller instrument has ever caused pain in the fingers, hand, or wrist. The other night I played my tenor and was...

Is there such an instrument available from the factory? Has anyone ever had a pick up installed? If ok how does it sound? IMO the GL1 sounds sweet when not strummed or picked too hard. So I believe the instrument would sound best if amplified. Ypur opinions...

I am working thru a book that teaches a lot of hammer ons and pulloffs but my guitalele does not respond well to either. On my baritone I do much better. On my tenor they sound great So my question is what strings should I use on a 20 inch scale Kmise...

Excuse me, but on this subject I am at a lost, maybe dumb. The three subjects I mentioned above complete confuse me. How does one use scales to play a melody? I was taught on non string instruments to play the single note melody - classical - I started out as a...

I read in several threads where one tunes up higher than standard tuning for their instrument. What is the purpose of tuning up? I would think that that would put too much tension on the bridge and maybe pull it loose. Educate me please.

UAS has struck again. Please tell me all the bad and the good about 8 string baritone ukuleles. How much harder to play, fret, if any then a 4 string? Are they the same scale and nut width? Anything you can think of would be appreciated. Thank you
