For Frau D.'s last birthday I did pretty similar but the Ukulele for Dummies book, the same tuner and the following Ukulele:

Next up is booking her into a proper course at a local music place and next month popping laong to see The United Kingdom Ukulele Orchestra in town to give her a slight push (and these ladies too, About us www.thepukes.co.uk)

My mate Paul is the bloke at the back.

The Ukelele scene is a friendly one.

(The next Ukelele Cabaret at the Lincoln Lounge is next Tuesday the 10th, btw...)

When considering the purchase of a uke, you must first declare your intentions by shouting as loud as you can....


"UKE HUNT!!!!" Only then can the search begin

Blimey, I didn't recognise him

We've had some good laughs at the Lincoln lounge.

Skippy, please, please, please, skip the Uke idea and buy yourself a half decent acoustic guitar instead.

You'll be able to learn a handful of chords almost as quickly and be banging tunes out to sing along to in no time. You'll then have the massive advantage of it not sounding like a Uke !

If you do get a uke then get some Aquila strings for it

Too big. Given that I'll probably play it twice then chuck it at the back of a cupboard, it's probably best if it doesn't take up too much space. Perhaps I should get a Jew's Harp...

Another band, King Blues, using ukulele to effect, saw them a couple of years ago:

Alternatively, learn lots of instruments at once and be like these guys, most of whom I've seen and are bloody excellent live:
