I either like to try something different, or I like to go back to things I know really well and just noodle with them. Sometimes I'll pick a technique that I know really needs work but that I haven't worked on for a while. Sometimes I'll pick a completely different type of song to try. Maybe...

Welcome to the UU forums, and (possibly) welcome back to ukulele (if you decide to pick it up again). What do you think are the factors that have stopped you from playing ukulele in the past? Is there anything we can suggest to help you pick up your ukulele and continue to play it?

That can depend on a lot more factors than just the tensile strength of the string. If the nut slot has a rough spot, if there's a flaw in the string, if there's a rough spot on the bridge, a rough spot in the tuning peg... there are likely other factors, but the point is it's not just about...

My Mom has been working on that for 50+ years and still doesn't know whether something is sharp or flat or by how much (she sometimes can tell something is off). It may not necessarily be something you can train yourself to do, despite best efforts. Certainly, it's worth practicing, and...

It's very pretty!!

I can personally attest for the beautiful craftsmanship of David's (@Tukanu) work. He has built me a sweet little lutulele (the "L'uke"). It is strung like this one with a double G course in octave tuning. I love to play Renaissance music on the lutulele, it's just perfect. It takes a little...

Thanks for taking the time to say hi and introduce yourself. That is definitely a nice sounding collection of ukuleles. What kind of music do you like to play?

That was AWESOME!! I love vultures. There was a great presentation at our local raptor rescue/recovery/education centre about vultures, and how they're such an incredibly important niche in the ecosystem, yet vilified and destroyed outright because people are disgusted by them. Clean up crews...

Yeah sitting at a computer is crippling. Good plan.

Yeah it looks like it's waiting for your 10th post. You're on 5. People are pretty good about chiming in with cross posts of sale items on other sites, so if anyone finds something, I'm sure they'll post here. Good luck!!

Greetings and welcome to the UU forums! That's a really pretty ukulele you have, and the strap is very snazzy. I hope you enjoy your ukulele journey!

I'm looking forward to seeing what you create with these!!

Ditto!!

This is great, and yeah what a performance! Thanks a lot for sharing, I love rags, too :love: That'll be "I'll work towards that" goal, one day,kind of thing.

That is quite a striking instrument!

The Marketplace Rules do say: and it doesn't specify before first listing a sale post. I don't know the mechanism behind this; I'll have to log on with my test account to see the result of trying before 10 post minimum, even with a wanted post rather than a sale post. I know that @TimWilson...

Fair enough. Really, I'm very pleased with my Moon Bird, so I'm not in a state where I'm particularly hurting for something else, so the inspiration/drive isn't there. When I bought the Moon Bird, I was really grumpy with what I had in stock. The BR is a little bit of a tug, and sure, if I had...

Greetings to the UU forums! That sounds like a very entertaining search, good luck on the hunt. There are a lot of people here who are quite knowledgeable about vintage ukuleles, and Kamakas specifically, so I'm sure if you have any questions, you'll be able to get some answers - either...

We actually refer to the breast meat as boobs in our household: duck boob, turkey boob, chicken boob. That's how I label them for the freezer too :ROFLMAO:

Thanks for the very detailed update! I'm glad your health isn't in as scary a place as you originally were led to believe, but it sounds like the outcome of that has been very positive nonetheless (I bet your girls are delighted your spending more time with them, too). And wow, your NM...
