random purchase (ukulele)

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by buster, Jul 21, 2014.

  1. After watching a you tube video of sweet child of mine on the ukulele I had to buy one. I have been up till two in the morning trying to play it, it's at work with me now. I will never take it camping though, I have had to camp next to someone with a guitar once!
    Anyone else play one? Mega addictive!

  4. I once electrified one, it wasn't an unqualified success,
    feedback is not always your friend.

  5. Yep. Me and the kids have been playing since Christmas. In fact I've just treated myself to a new electric accoustic solid maple top uke. Still sound crap though so it must be me :D

    Seriously though it is a fun instrument and easy to get going on. Have fun.

    I've had a uke a couple of years now. They're the ultimate travel guitar :thumbsup:......even if they're not a guitar....

    Ukulele Hunt is a good resource....

  16. I bought my daughter a nice one for her birthday. She played it for about a week. Check out the ukulele orchestra, they're fantastic

    I have four ukes and a mandolin. Still a beginner but progressing. No harm in taking them with you - get a good sing song going. These small instruments are ideal for a camper, can't understand how those '60s hippies had room for guitars in their splitties!
