Reggie came in the mail today! I was able to put the Aquila low G back on Sally. Reggie is strung with Super Nyglut, which is a fairly quiet string to put on a soprano, and I’m not sure Reggie being painted can really do best with that style string, but I’ll play them out and maybe they’ll sound a little less dull. The Aquila Reds are much brighter and thinner (although the low G is pretty chunky on a soprano), and I might be tempted to buy another set for him. Otherwise he sounds fine, basically the same Kala Soprano shape except a smaller heel and if I’m not mistaken a few mm’s shorter scale and smaller tuner buttons. And of course looking very pretty in red, yellow and green! The only other oddity is that inside the soundboard it has a specific Ukeadelic label with the model number but NO date stamp so I don’t know how old he is 🙁 Now I need a case or two, 3 ukes is getting cluttery.

Nice ukeing ewe did there! (Sorry, couldn’t resist ) at least, what I could hear of it. The ukes were a little low in the mix, I thought.  The bass was grand though  

Seeing this thread come up reminds me: how’s your ukeing coming along (or not), @sigh butterfly?   

 @Beatlebug I haven’t made the purchase yet but I am actively looking. Also I’ve found a teacher and that’s a start . I found him performing at an art and wine festival on both uke and bango. He’s seems a little eccentric (he was wearing a top hat and calls himself Dr. Windslow’s Medicine Show) but he plays great and the price is right. The main thing I have accomplished toward my uke is fulfilling my end of the bargain with my wife – meet Charlie 

Bumping the thread for another ukulele demonstration. I wrote and recorded this today, this is a wide stereo mix to show off the ukes a little better. The kazoos you hear is my new 6″ performer fatboy made by George “Doc Kazoo” Collins over in Florida. He’s making me a second kazoo which I hope will work better for me in a harmonica neckbrace so I can go out busking with it. I’m going to go to my first ukulele festival in Melbourne in October too. Anyway, this is yet another satirical song I wrote about a silly game for the amusement of some people on a forum, there are no naughty words but it is heavily ironic.

Quite upbeat bass line, i like it.

I did wonder whether the “Punch and Judy” laughing into a kazoo was pushing it, but no one seems too concerned. Ukuleles make songwriting a lot easier for me I must say.

What an interesting idea – I like the look of the first and third ones, they definitely look cheap though, no fret markers. On the other hand, they have similar designs on guitar straps.

She’s great, and proves a couple of things: you don’t need flash, you just need to feel it. Also, no one ever beat a cute kid with an instrument on a game show, it’s just the law.
