So I bought a Ukelele at Christmas

[cazzer]

As the title said...

I just fancied having a play. 25 quid, meh, if I don't like it I'll bin it.

I now have three, (two soprano's and a tenor)

Just how much fun are Ukeleles?

Having played bass and six string for 20 years (Bass well 6 string at busker level) I find I rock on the Uke

If anyone is fancying a dabble with something with strings, get one, u'le love it

Yer not the first to ask for it

You're right they are a blast.

My kids both came home from their schools with notes saying they needed one for music this year. I picked up a great makala dolphin for my little lad, and my daughters school organised hers - a tanglewood.

Having restrung them with decent aquila strings they both sound ok and are a blast to play. I'm thinking of getting a concert sized for me. My little lad is only 7 but finds he can manage the uke nicely, he tried guitar but found it a bit awkward.

A little thread I started 3 years ago! And I am still no good, but I do enjoy playing.

I am now playing with 3 others of varying capability which is fun. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

PS I have 4, 2 of each soprano and concert.

I like your echoey voice over the stronger Uke sound.

I have not done any recording of anything I have done as I am just getting into properly singing along with the stuff I play and to me it sounds pretty bad. Besides the point that I have had a horrible throat lurgy this week that means I can't speak let alone sing!

You have inspired me to play more again, thanks

Uke recorded first.
Then vocal.
Both done with Audiology on the PC.

Then recorded back with Echo. (bit too much)

Then the stereo track loaded into garageband and the bass, drum and strings added.

[Hoover.]

Uke's are all the rage......

Itch uses his here :-
