I ordered a Ukulele today. It's a Kala Curly Mango KA-MTE-C Tenor Cutaway w/EQ, and it's LEFT HANDED!!

I'm looking at a February delivery.

Bought a couple of inexpensive Soprano sized ones myself.
One for my son-in-law and one for myself.
Also bought some D'Addario vinyl strings.

Christmas presents.

Played around with one of them for about 30 minutes...trying to figure out the tuning. Got a couple of chord books too.

Since noticed you can buy AC/DC Uke Song Book ! Now that must be interesting!! :o :lol:

I have an old Futura Uke,it isn't up to Martin standards but they're real fun to plunk away at.

The ukulele was one of my first "performing" instruments when we were kids. My friend and I had a uke, a pair of bongo drums, and a harp. Luckily we had youthful, nice voices. :lol:

Iz can bring a tear to my eye with his playing.

Our Ukulele player showed me this one day. Pretty cool. Gets crazy at about 3:00.

Good on you, branching out into ukes!

Ain't done the uke thing yet...

...but got a bouzouki (think "Zorba The Greek" theme)

First time I've seen someone finger picking a uke. Almost sounded like a harp.
Thanks for posting,

In an interview, Dhani Harrison said George always carried two ukes with him when he traveled. One for George and one for a friend. The man loved to play. His whole life he enjoyed playing and learning. A good guy.

Here is a great Ukulele song. At the end you will see them dumping the artist ashes in the ocean (Israel Kamakawiwo'ole )

One of my favorite all time comedy/music bits was Martin Mull playing bottleneck blues on a ukulele with a baby bottle.
