Great and interesting! Thanks!
By: UKISOCIETY. on 27 Dec 08, 18:05:02
Sorry. Been in another country for a month. I'd go with an Ohana Vita uke, with its concert size beautiful sound.
By: UKISOCIETY. on 27 Dec 08, 18:01:15
Ohana mahogany is my best guess. Sorry so late, been away you know! :)
By: nikolo727. on 20 Nov 08, 04:37:32
Hey Alan! good stuff man! Do you know where I can get a solid wood mellow sounding soprano for under 200 bucks??
By: nikolo727. on 20 Nov 08, 04:36:46
Ukulele aquisition sydrome. Its when you feel the compulsion to horde as many ukuleles as you can into your house.
By: moviesandmusicBE. on 19 Nov 08, 16:21:26
what is UAS?
By: nikolo727. on 15 Nov 08, 05:52:06
poor dog. cant handle the enchanting tunes of the uke with jazz! Another great comparison, bravo!
By: UKISOCIETY. on 06 Nov 08, 16:01:51
Have you recorded the ukette? I'd love to hear it!
By: odalanizi. on 04 Nov 08, 18:23:22
hey there, Can I ask your humble opinion. Which uke should I get as my first uke? Note that the only other instrument I play is a harmonica... and I want to play some bluesy(ish) style stuff like you did... this one: Oscar Schmidt OU13 Soprano Ukulele or Lanikai LU-21 please reply asap! thanks!
By: ChamoruDT. on 05 Oct 08, 05:08:28
what kind of popsicle stick though?...lol

When I asked Uke Hall of Fame about mine (the same than yours) Tom said : "I agree with you, based on the headstock decal I would guess your ukulele is from the 1930s or 1940s. It looks like one of Harmony's higher quality ukuleles." And cause the pegs are not made of wood I think It should be from the 40's. Really nice sound ! Dave.

UAS: it sets in so quickly! June: I touch an ukulele for the first time. One C chord. A Flea. I don't bite. But it bites me. July 3, 2008: A Kala Long-necked Soprano for a short-fingered player. Two weeks later: discover GUGUG. Troll Ebay for T.V. Pal, snap one up. It arrives: it's a Ukette! Due to aged strings, its voice is ridiculously bass. last week: pale blue Makala w/dolphin bridge,for knocking around. today: Ebay Harmony, with red notes stenciled. Can't go on like this....
By: shas1814. on 25 Aug 08, 23:54:36
I like the Harmony a lot. But the Sopranino is great, too! I want one!! Thanks for posting these.
By: UKISOCIETY. on 24 Aug 08, 12:21:11
I sold all the ukes here except for the Harmony. I agree it's a great sound. I found out that it's actually from the 20's or 30's and not the 50's like I said in the video.
By: UKISOCIETY. on 24 Aug 08, 12:19:49
I pride myself in my work! :P
By: UKISOCIETY. on 24 Aug 08, 12:19:30
Me too. But I sold the unkown! Can you believe it?
By: UKISOCIETY. on 24 Aug 08, 12:19:11
How do you like it?
By: UKISOCIETY. on 24 Aug 08, 12:18:57
Did you buy a uke? Which one?
By: sjnery. on 24 Aug 08, 09:30:59
I love the "sweet" tone that the Harmony one gives. To me its the perfect Soprano sound!!!beautiful ukuleles ALL OF THEM!!!
By: captainkhung. on 26 Jul 08, 21:22:51
haha a popsicle stick! what a luthier you are!
By: shimanagashimono. on 08 Jul 08, 17:44:14

I just baught another Ukulele today, my first saprano. I think I suffer from this UAS,lol.
By: ganima22. on 30 Jun 08, 18:08:44
Good god, you caught me just as I'm about to buy my first ukulele! I had to laugh at the UAS warning because I am absolutely psyched about getting my first one!
By: UKISOCIETY. on 25 Jun 08, 11:51:24
That's a soprano you've got there. If it feels too small for you, try a concert size or tenor.
By: awesomemillion. on 25 Jun 08, 04:19:05
Hey, can you look at my videos and tell me what kind I'm playing and also... should I be playing a different kind? Maybe something bigger? I'm a big guy. Any advice?
