Wanted to share that the Whistler BC library has a monthly Uke Strum along that is so much fun. I went last month and the diversity of people from around the world all playing ukes was inspiring. Hope you make it there soon!

Can someone translate this to simpleton terms please… the song is Shadow People by Dr. Dog.

Hi, I bought the uke in 2022 and just did one song (alag aasman, a Hindi song if someone's interested) and my uke collected dust after that.

Now recently Ive been trying to play it for like 30 mins each day but I just cant get to make my strum and voice/runs sync together.

How do I improve?

If you’re a beginner struggling with basic posture or chords, a seasoned veteran learning a new technique, or anything In between, post it here, and hopefully somebody will able to help you.

And if you’re a ukulele player who thinks they’ve got advice to share, do it! If someone here is struggling with something you’ve struggled with, and you’ve got a solution, please comment it.

This is recurring thread, so if you missed it, it will come round again.

And if your issues wasn’t resolved last time, ask it again!

Hello, my child is learning the ukulele in school. I'd like to purchase one for her. Here's a pic of the model number (U30G-BR) but I can't find it online. Can someone help identify it please?

I even checked the Mahalo site: https://mahaloukuleles.com/

edit: sorry I can't seem to post a picture. hopefully someone can find a link with this model number

If you want to hear how it sounds, check out my first hour with it here. Some music starts around 29 mins after quite a bit of fooling around and exploring things.

It actually came in a week early so I wasn’t quite as prepared as I’d hoped for the unboxing, but oh well, it’s real lol. I’m super happy with the uke and really excited to learn to get the most out it!

I am struggling to pick between a tenor uke and a baritone uke because changing to baritone would mean I have to change the way I play chords but the sound is a lot better. Tuning to gCEA would add to much tension from what I know but i use F# B D# G# because it fits my voice better. So could I use the lower tuning with the stock baritone strings?

I'm asking for a ukulele for Christmas but have a £50 budget. I'd love a concert one but are there any good ones for £50 or less?

I am moving across the world. I am a single mom and will be moving around the world with my 2 kids and a cat. We are going minimal. We will be selling almost everything taking only irreplaceable. I have a beautiful uku. It's not special but I bought it while living abroad and my kids also learned to play on it. I will be shipping a few boxes home with things like photos/paintings (I and my friends are artists) and some rugs I've collected on my travels.

How would I begin to get a uku home. I will already be loaded down on the plane as my kids are still younger and a cat. Shipping across the world...something like a wooded instrument is bulky and delicate. Should i even bother bringing this particular instrument with us? Thoughts? It's beautiful and SLIGHTLY sentimental.

Note: I'm not the type of person that ships a whole house. Ive no issues going light...but I have a strange attachment to this thing...

I bought it like 2 days ago and I was tuning it and this happened

I got two new ukuleles this weekend as an early Christmas present. KA-B baritone (tuned as gCEA) and KA-CG concert. Together $145. I want to add strap buttons to them. Is this a DIY project?

Ok about to pull the trigger on a mail order never seen uke for a Christmas present... New Eastman EU3-T 2024 or like new Pono Cedar Rosewood Master Series Tenor (RT C MS). The pono is about $100 more.
