Ukulele Days

  1. Me and the missus went to our first ukulele class last week, - I bought her a uke a couple of years ago as she wanted to learn, but it got postponed for some reason.

    I've played guitars (badly) for the past 45 years, so the ukulele chords are pretty easy.

    There were a couple of spare ukes at the class, but I've decided to buy my own. I don't want a Tesco special, and I'd prefer a quality used one which stands a better chance of staying in tune and has a decent tone.

    Any thoughts? (don't worry, I've already warned the neighbours).
     
  2. I got a Kahana Puretone for Xmas. It's fun.

    I also got a Gretsch semi acoustic and a SD Curlee electric given the other day. They used to belong to my late brother in law. The Gretsch needs a bit of tarting up but similar ones are going on eBay for about £1500 :eek:
