    Hello! :]

    I really want a great quality ukulele but I'm slightly overwhelmed by all these brands that I'm hearing.

    I'll like recommendations, opinions, reviews, links, videos of you?  etc.

    Budget will be around $200-$400 (more or less).
    I've played a Lanikai & Kala concert.
    Both are nice but I think I want something larger AND louder.
    A loud/bright sound, you know?

    This Kala that I'm borrowing is pretty sweet and I'm trying not to get attached. Now that I have to babysit.. I'll be able to save up for one for me :D!!


    So yeah, TENOR? I like gcea tuning ..

    I was thinking maybe this mainland uke?

    Helloooo
    okay so I just started playing the uke, I got it (a fluke) this past christmas so I've been playing for maybe 8 months? I've never played an instrument before, except I would sing and stuff.

    Anyway me and my friend helen who lives far away make music by recording stuff to our computers, and then we send it to the other person and record something over it, and back and forth like that.

    that is us. I would really appreciate if you listened and told me what you think!

    Mahalo U-30?
         Hello! I've been wanting to invest in a ukulele for quite some time, and I've got a lot of the theory, but now I just need to know if the ukulele I want is worth it. At the local music shop, they sell Mahalo U-30s. Does anyone own one? Do they stay in tune for longer than 5 minutes at a time? I greatly appreciate any help! Thanks!

    Hello! I just joined the comm, so I thought I'd better introduce myself.

    I'm Lisa, I'm from the UK and I just bought a Ukulele today! I'm so excited! I have absolutely no idea how to play it, but I can't wait to start learning. It's such a fun little instrument and it sounds of happy.

    hi there! i'm a new member, and i have some simple questions!
    i have a beautiful soprano ukulele,
    and i'm finally getting around to investing in a case for it.
    i want a hard case, preferably not black.
    (I'm picky, i know.)
    i saw a swell tweed one just about everywhere, but someone around here already has that.

    does anyone know where i can get a hard-case? if so, an old, vintage one- if possible.

    Hello, I need some help
    Do you have any good resources online that you have found to help you learn how to play the Uke? I have always had love in my heart for all stringed instruments and nothing would please me more than to be able to conquer my impatience and fear of failure, to persevere and master just one instrument. I have a Purple Fluke and it's beautiful and lovely and it should be making music. I am at the moment trapped in a very small town with very limited resources so I will not be able to take lessons more than likely. I do have the summer off however and I am determined to do something with this time.
    Any ideas and help would be great, we are currently looking for new jobs and a relocation and as soon as I get to a city with more than just a Safeway, I will look for lessons but until then I want to at least feel like I am moving in the right direction.

    Tips? Tricks? Websites?

    Thanks guys!
