    La Bella Wound String Help

    I bought some La Bella gold wound classical guitar strings. I often use wound strings on my tenor and baritone ukuleles. I have two 850 Elite 5th String and a 900 Elite 4th string and I'm confused about which to use on the baritone D or baritone or tenor low G? I'm sure I had this all figured...

    Pono Steel String Baritones

    I'm confused. Are the "steel strings" on Pono UL4 series Baritones the same as the Thomastik-Infeld acoustic guitar strings I sometimes use on my Mainland baritone or low G tenor? Does Pono use four steel strings on these baritones?

    Buying on Marketplace

    There is a ukulele for sale I have an interest in buying. The seller is brand spanking new to the site. I've seen lots of warnings about this but how dangerous can it be using standard Paypal (not friends and family)?

    Thomastik-Infeld Strings for Bari

    I've got one of their CF35 strings to try on my baritone but a few questions. Is this a steel string or is there a non-steel core? Any concerns for a steel string? The string has red taped areas on both ends with one taped side much longer. Is there a preferred way to install these? I have...

    This is a Mahogany Pono built in 2012. It’s a bit plain with matte finish and strap buttons but no bling. It is in great condition and plays beautifully. Strings are currently Fremont Blacklines low G. A MiSI acoustic trio pickup was installed a few years ago by LoPrinzi’s Clearwater shop. I...

    Cleaning Enya Carbon Composite

    I recently bought a tenor model of this ukulele in white. I travel with it and use it to practice in my back yard. It has quickly taken on a yellow cast and I'd like to whiten it up a bit. The Enya composite probably gives me quite a bit of leeway in cleaners and products to try but I wondered...

    Replacing Pono Tuners

    I have an older Pono mahogany tenor that I just love and play regularly. I've noticed that the tuners have gotten harder to turn and make creaking sounds like there is grit or sand in them. I'd like to replace them with new high quality tuners but I'm not sure how to go about it and whether I'll...

    Selling Question

    The marketplace seems like a great place to buy a ukulele but perhaps less great for selling. I was wondering if people who sell here try to find a local buyer first on Craigs-list or Facebook marketplace. This to avoid the hassle and expense of shipping or selling instruments that the buyer...

    Your First Ukulele?

    I was going through some old bills when I discovered the nine year old receipt from a big on-line music store for my first ukulele. I decided on a concert size and purchased a Luna Tattoo for just over $100. I think I chose the Luna based on price, looks and on-line user reviews. It wasn't a...

    Mainland Baritone - Impressions

    I'm not qualified to do a "review" but I recently bought a Mainland Baritone and thought I'd share some thoughts after a few months of use. I have the Red Cedar/Rosewood model and (rope decoration aside) I love the looks. The cedar and rosewood are gorgeous and the gloss finish is beautiful if...

    Strumming Patterns

    I learned to play using "The Daily Ukulele". I would pick a song I liked with a melody I knew and learn the chords. Rather than play a pattern I just strummed to the melody incorporating rhythm, dynamics, and tempo to make it actually sound like the song rather than a chord progression. Later...

    Slotted Headstocks

    I have one ukulele with a slotted headstock. It's a Kala baritone, a very nice cedar top ukulele. The headstock on this Kala is quite thick so I guess the slots save weight and they look good. I change strings often and compared to traditional uke tops the slotted headstock is a pain to work...
