No matter what I do I can't get the intonation right. I'm adjusting the bridge screws, checking on open vs 12th fret as recommended, and (using a Kala tuner) the notes are always 50pts (or whatever you call them) off. Is it just a lemon instrument? I can get C, E and A in at least the right...

In great condition and has only been played in my office in my spare time (I'm a software developer). Never been gigged out. Why? We're moving offices and acoustic instruments won't work in the new office, so bought an electric uke and headphones. My HF3 Kamaka at home will serve my needs just...

Bought it less than a year ago from Mim's. Great instrument, never left my office and only plucked, rarely strummed. Great condition. I'm letting it go, reluctantly, because a) I need the cash and b) I've decided tenor is just more comfortable for me. It's just too much of an adustment playing...

Not a great performance but all the notes are there. Playing it from memory as a daily practice. Working on Prelude from suite 3 now.

still working on playing it from memory. Found a nice echo-y room and captured part of it. I've spent a few months tweaking the fingering, about ready to put the book out there.

a few basic questions for a newbie: 1 are saddles filed lower one one side than the other? uninformed common sense might suppose that the side with a low g would be filed lower, because thicker string, and you want all the strings to be in the same plane. 2 are saddles shaped differently for a...

Busily writing arpeggios. I’m using Stave n’ Tabs. What do you folks use? SNT is okay but not really good for making book. E.g. hard to label a line here.

Here’s the complete version of Bach Cello Suite 2 “Sarabande”, my transcription. It’s not perfect but it’s starting to sound like music. Bach wrote the suite after he found out about the death of his wife, the love of his life, after some time abroad. This piece for me is about his struggle...

I checked out the tutorials on GotAUkulele yesterday and took a shot at saddle adjustment on my Martin T2K Tenor. I think I might buy a cheap ukulele and do a strip-down just to see how the thing is made. I'd like to try adding new tuner myself e.g. I don't want to do too much amateur hour...

This isn't a great performance, just me pulling all the pieces together in a single session. Transcription for the second repeat is attached. Enjoy! I'm creating what I call 'difficult' transcriptions, which force the player to play all the way up to the 17th fret. This is a relatively easy...

It’s coming along. But be generous in your reviews here lol

Transcribed it, was fiddling with fingering, think I got it. No trills on this one, just the notes :cool: Part 2 coming

this is by no means good :) I'm just working through the fingering. I've created about six different fingerings for the piece, just having fun with it. Put it waaay up there, so some action on the 17th and 16th frets and some fun 12th fret harmonics. it's just a slooow practice session, on my...

I'm modifying a guitar tutorial to make this. Hope it helps somebody. More to come. Shapes 1 and 2 are the E and A strings on the guitar :-) So we start with shape 3.

Hey, play a Kamaka HF3 and HF2L. (And a Martin T2K). Just started in June. Took cello lessons for 8 months then switched to this, leaning into my guitar playing abilities. I came across a ukulele book in the last few months that emphasized learning dyads and now for the life of me I can’t find...
