Well I have sent Mr ms my birthday wishlist - my musical future is in his hands...

[darmstadt]

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...

Nah, not too big at all:

No Ukes ! Ban The Ukes ! No Ukes on the Clyde.

Think I may have got my campaigns mixed up !

LOL

One of my sisters got a Fender uke which is very nice to play and I'm ashamed to admit I'm tempted but I'll tune it GDAE same as fiddle / mandolin / tenor banjo so I can play all that mega fast celtic stuff.

I'll even donate my Fender Telecoustic

Just don't take up the bass, they're weirdos:

Chortle!

Looks like a cross between John Lennon and Yoko, without the glasses

Allegedly he used to keep a bootful of them in his car and randomly go around knocking on doors handing them out.

Also recommend the GuitarTapp Pro app. You can enter a song and it will find you the chords and transpose them if needed.

You can set it to ukulele and it will show you the tabs for the song as well.

I got one of them last year, just the right size and extremely pleased with it...

They are quite nice. Bought one last month, although I'm not really a big acoustic player. Play in a covers band (and do covers solo) and the current 'market' demands some of the acoustic tulipe that seems to be prevalent at the moment (Ezra/Sheeran etc).

Get a small one then

Google Fender Telecoustic. Get one of them instead. Jeez, I may end up offering to pay the difference to prevent you ruining your life with a Uke

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:

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 !

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
