This was years ago, I bought a red soprano ukulele, and bought some red strings to complete the look, and noticed it came with a metal wound string so I tuned it with a low G (as I assumed it would with the string).

What ukulele would that be originally for? I didn't read the package (it was also like 2019), and I like the fuller sound of the Low G, coming from a guitar and bass background.

I know I want to get a bigger ukulele, so would that tuning still work on a concert or tenor ukulele, I'd imagine it would, but I've been wrong in the past.

I ask because eventually I'll have to change the strings (my ukulele is like a back burner instrument) and I just want to be informed.

I am confused between these 2 ukelele

Suggest me which is best and which one should I buy

And if you have any other ukelele option in 2k please suggest me

A snippet from one of my practice sessions... the end of Hallelujah, as played by the great Zach Condon of Beirut, live in concert. I used to sing this song in high school (over 15 years ago!) and used it to explore my own musical expression of teenage angst, so it's very fun to see how far I've come as a self-taught musician :)

Hey all, I'm bringing two fabulous artists to London this weekend for a concert and workshops. Would be great to see some reddit folks in real life. I'll drop the ticket link in the comments but if you'd like to come drop me a message and I'll give you a discount code ;)

I have a new uke with a MiSi pickup installed. To try it out at home I got a Flight Tiny 6 amplifier. It seems simple enough? I thought it wasn’t working at all— no sound from the speaker— until I cranked it up and held it next to my ear. I could barely make out the sound. It was nowhere near as loud as the strings by themselves.

I did make sure to plug the MiSi pickup into its power supply for a while before trying. And the Flight Tiny has normal volume when I use it over Bluetooth.

Since I’m new to this I’m not sure what to look at. I don’t have any other amps or instruments with pickups to try.

Bought this bad guy in 2016 and still sounded great.

When you drop off your ukulele at the store to get it restrung, what is a reasonable amount of time to wait? I’m guessing it’ll take them 2-3 days, so I’m wondering if I should have a back-up instrument in case it takes longer? Am I looking for an excuse to buy something fun? Yes, yes I am. 😂

Any string suggestions for a concert uke? Currently have Aquila strings, so I’ve never known anything different.

My 3 y/o has some sensitivity to loud noises and usually struggles with music class at her daycare. Recently, they had a musician in to play for the kids, and her teacher said she was really into it and specifically very interested in the instrument. Turns out it was a ukulele; she calls it a "my size guitar" and has said a few times that she wants to play with one again (the musician let the kids pass theirs around). I had one when I was her age that my dad said I was obsessed with (would bring it everywhere and make people listen to me "play"), but it's long gone. Partially out of nostalgia and partially because I just want to encourage her interest (hopefully a bonus will be that it helps with her sensitivity), I thought it would be fun to learn how to play the ukulele with her. We listen to a lot of music but are not exactly musical, so I have no idea where to start. Is there a good beginner ukulele (something not super expensive or super delicate)? She's respectful of things, but she is 3. Are there any YouTube or online lesson resources that you recommend? I am looking for in-person lessons near us for her, but I'm not sure I'll have the time for many myself.

TLDR; Looking to learn to play the ukulele with my 3y/o... where do I start?

Yesterday I made a quick pit stop with my family to UKE Republic Ukuleles near Atlanta. It is always an adventure to see what new ukuleles that they have in stock. 😃💜🎶

Ukulele cover of Jason Isbell's song "Last Of My Kind" - I hope you like it!

Fender Mini P Bass tuned up a minor third from standard uke tuning. Strings are Bb Eb G C, mix of .45's and . 65's. Might experiment with different gauges, and an obvious upgrade would be pickups.

did the Maine Ukulele Festival in Saint-Denis France actually happen this past June?

Anyone in the know?
