This new-to-me Martin 5K soprano is finally here! The first ukulele I ever learned on, back in the Aldrine-Guerrero-IAmHawaii.com days (right around when UU was first founded) was a Tangi soprano. Like many on the journey, I ended up favoring the tenor size and staying there. But the right...

Recently, I have been itching for a Martin Soprano to hang on the wall and play and thought about the uniqueness of a vintage model, but those are hard to buy over the internet without handling. Then I thought about the winter in NYC and how I rarely run the room humidifier...which would...

After buying a HF3-D4I (Jake Blue), I have decided to part with my HF-3L (Long Neck Tenor) to make space in my small New York studio. Tonally, the HF-3L is outstanding—you’ll get sparkle on the E and A strings on the longer scale that just isn’t there on the standard 17” scale. Resonance and...

Note: Instrument does not come in the Ameritage case Coming to Purchase the Kamaka Jake Blue Growing up in Hawaii, Jake Shimabukuro was a local celebrity. It’s crazy to know he’s 42 now, and still king of the instrument—although many outstanding ukulele artists have also come up in the years...

Not sure if this has been around for a while, but I was excited to see that Jake had officially released an official version of the famous custom strap that he's used on his instruments for years. At $60, it seems a bit expensive for a nylon strap, but still very cool...

KoAloha Pineapple Sunday Ukulele with Fishman Matrix Infinity Asking Price: $OLD $1245 + Shipping (OBRO) I have listed this on Oahu Craigslist and prefer a local sale because I prefer that the buyer can see and hear the instrument in person. But I am willing to ship this as well ($60...

SOLD to Uke man! As I am moving to the mainland next year to attend business school, I am selling off a few pieces of gear. The first is this outstanding ToneRite which makes your ukuleles and guitars sound better through "black magic." A few points for interested buyers: Yes, I do...

TL;DR?: Just watch the video. EDIT: See Post #77 for update...and another fun video! I just picked up an Analysis Plus Yellow Oval cable today and tried it out on my Kanilea Aldrine Model. Prior to this, I had only plugged the uke into my Roland Cube 30 electric guitar amp through a $10 Hosa...

So now that I have one of those cheap humidity/temperature devices in one of my ukulele cases, I have looked into what a good number for humidity would be. It seems that the internet consensus is 45% to 55%. Then I noticed that over the past few months, every time I looked at the hygrometer in...

Anyone know what kind of gear that Jake uses? I was watching Life on Four Strings, and noticed a few items. Ukulele: Several custom Kamaka tenors (and a few others before the Kamakas too). Anyone have a catalog of them? He mentioned that one of them was named "Val." And I think the more...

So, anyone have UU stickers? Let's see them! Here's what I spent 20 minutes of my day working on. This sticker is extremely detailed with lots of small parts. It was extra challenging since the Cordura material isn't flat and takes some effort to stick to. But the result was great. (The...

I've been on an Aldrine Guerrero kick lately. Anyone know what kind of gear he currently uses? Ukulele: Custom Kanilea Tenor (I'm aware he has a few of these and have seen a guitarlele out there too, and just got one with new wood...wonder if he still names them all...) Strings: Daddario T2s...

Admittedly, I have been out of the ukulele game, in earnest, for a while; in the past few years, there has been little leisure time between the responsibilities of work and school. I might have averaged 10 minutes of ukulele-time a week--sometimes going weeks on end without playing at all. But...

Looks like I missed Life on Four Strings, the documentary on Jake's life, both times it aired this month on PBS Hawaii (darn!) But as a consolation, I did find his recent interview with Leslie Wilcox, long-time Hawaii news anchor. If you wanted to learn more about his background, I don't think...

I posted a thread a while ago about thinning down my collection. Some were skeptical. And very well they should have been...I ended up picking up a few more ukes since that thread! Haha. Back then, the only thing motivating me to sell was to save for a Rolex (which, as a young punk, I...

SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD!! EDIT: This one is withdrawn. The buyer backed out, and I've already got the money for the chair. Thanks for the interest. I'll probably regret this, but Herman Miller is having a sale on all of their chairs, and I want a new Aeron for those hours I'll spend studying...
