We were trying "Between the Devil and the deep blue sea" in the band last week - an ukulele was deeply missed.
Time to rectify that:
This beauty did set me back around 50$. Think this is going to be fun!

Nice uke! It would seem that a lot of people around here lately are picking those up. Might me worthwhile for all of us too check them out.
Vacate is the word...Vengance has no place on me or her...Cannot find a comfort in this world.
just when I thought I had enough gear I realize I need one of those.
actually, Im thinking about a resonator uke from National.
ukes can be inexpensive. perhaps it's time to ukeup.
I have been trying to get a uke off eBay for quite some time...I keep getting outbid! However the one's I bid on had electronics built in and were Oscar Schmidts...
well, I guess Ukes come in different qualities too...
Mine seem to be made of ... a set of old binders painted brown or something like that ;) Costs about the same as 3 sets of D'addario strings here - nothing to lose sleep from.
Once I realised that the tuning is really like the top four strings on a guitar with a capo on 5th fret (although the 4th string is one octave higher), the chords come easy too. The next gadget has to be a Mandolin. They had a nice fender with mic at the shop...
Maybe I should consider starting http://www.ukulelenoise.com :D

Cute. What's the make and does it stay in tune? I still want one, maybe after the strat...

A Uke and a mandolin might be cool to have at some point in the future. I am not sure how well they would go with my Doom/Stoner/Classic Rock with a hint of power metal recipe. Although, Led Zep did use some mandolins and other stringed instruments. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps!
It is a small world for metal fanatics. I welcome you fellow musicians, especially the metalheads!
Primeta, it is a Reno, it is "hand crafted" ;), and after I tightened the tuners it seems to stay OK in tune

I've been looking at a few Ukes at MF too. Maybe we'll have to start posting some Uke songs on the ESD too. :wink:
Here's a vid of a great Uke player that someone posted awhile back:

Something to aspire too! :shock:

Well as long as it stays in tune ok, never heard of Reno though.
I was looking at ukes on elderly, considering a flea, but I might wait for a true Hawaiian. I'd lover a Beltona or a National, but those National ukes cost more than most of my guits! Think I'd want a traditional sound to start with.

... think I can just sell it again :cry:
Well, as it appears I guess he's playing on a baritone type - guess that explains it ;)

:lol:
Really I hadn't realized how many types of ukes or the number of playing styles. Take a read of some of the uke forums :shock:

4 strings, half scale, looks like a mariachi instrument... that thing is the devils work.

They don't all look like Mariachi.
I spent my lunch hour at a local guitar shop today (but that's another story), and he had a "flying V" ukulele sitting in the shop window.
How's that for a blend of ultra-cool and cheeze!
I wrapped a newspaper ’round my head
So I looked like I was deep
LOL! I do believe that is the coolest looking uke I've ever seen! :D
