I just received an e-mail that prompted me to post here. It's not exactly about Ukulele, but the Cuatro (Venezolano). If you don't know much about the Cuatro, it's the Ukulele's older American cousin and they are so similar in tuning that any Ukulele player can pick up a Cuatro and play it...

See the Movie! Hello Jim, First of all, you're late! Carnival in Rio (and here) will have been gone three weeks by tomorrow. We're all in Lent now. But that song has always been a favourite of mine and I've been humming it off and on for the past three weeks. If you haven't seen Black...

The 2018 Jazz Fest schedule was just released and Jake will be playing on Saturday, April 29th, closing out one of the main stages. He won't be the featured artist, he'll be a sideman in the "Acoustic Airmen", a back-up band for Jimmy Buffet. All the names of the Airmen were not released, but...

Thought folks might like to see how we roll down south. Saints are in the playoffs for the first time in awhile. We won in the first round against Carolina last Sunday. After the game, cameras took in the celebration in the Saints locker run. Coach Sean Payton was front and center. The...

First, I'm not an Alabama fan (Roll Wave, Geaux Tigers). But for those outside North America or who don't follow sports in general, Alabama won the college football national championship on Monday night. Their coach changed quarterbacks at halftime with Alabama trailing badly and it was a...

Here's something I came across recently. It's shot in the Casco (old quarter) of Maracaibo, the second largest city in Venezuela. The first Europeans arrived at the old Arawak/Carib town in 1499. The Cuatro there is even more ingrained in the cultural fabric than the Ukulele in Hawaii. The...

Scalloped Edge We've never done a fully scalloped fretboard like you'all are discussing, but we've done a scalloped edge. It's on the top edge only. If you ever do "thumb-around" fretting or muting it's really nice. (this one is from a proto & the scalloping was put in for a trial after...

That leadwood looks to be an excellent choice for fretboards, Pete. And "under the radar" usually just indicates there is no threat of depletion. In other words just the kinds of woods we should be looking for. We've never used true Ebonies; never had any real desire to do so. Of the two...

I thought there was already a thread with this title, as we have "What are you Listening To" & "What are you Reading". But a search turned up nothing, and folks do watch films and television, so it seems this should draw some interest from fellow Ukulele lovers. I'll start out with a film I...

Losing Gregg hits pretty hard, Here's something from the "Idelwild South": Post your own favorites. Peace -

This is a complicated issue with nuance that can't really be addressed in a speech such as this. Nonetheless, I am extremely proud of our mayor, and if you've been depressed by a lot of the political discourse recently, this may come as a breath of fresh air:

Hello All, Here’s a song to celebrate this beautiful Easter Sunday! It’s called “Easter Morning”. Today I thought it would be kicks to post it from a group of Church Ladies. The choir is led by an accomplished Cuatro player, and once they get going, there’s no stopping these women (and...

Hello young lovers, wherever you are! Thought you might want to start the day with a little romance. Here’s a triple threat video. Luz Pinos is a talented singer from Ecuador presently living in New York and on the cusp of releasing her first album. Jorge Glem is a master of the Venezuelan...

Congratuations, Hodge - I think you'll be pleased. This is a wood we've used for years. As always there are lots of names. Royal Mexican Ebony is the new one; Katalox seems to be used most often. We used the older (Aztec) spelling: Katalo'ox, but in our neck of the woods where terminology...

Hello Dick, Glad you enjoyed it. I'm an even bigger fan of her first album - Langston Hughes poetry (amazing stuff & amazing how well it translates to song), mixed with Creole folk songs. And while it's off the subject a bit, you mentioned "different instruments". Leyla plays the Cello as...

This thread has been fun for me as well, Doc. First, for those who didn't click on the little link, let me post the video (next time, mft, look in the toolbar above when posting). I can't say too much about this video, as I have never heard playing that makes the Linear G tuning sound this...

karcsi is right when he says this is a recent phenomenon. We started about 10 years ago, a bit after Katrina, and at that time there were almost none. But I’d disagree with those who would define instruments by scale. Scale lengths aren’t standard either; Baritones have the biggest...
