I just got one a couple of days ago for travel. It has a very clear focused sound, plenty of punch; slightly boxy; but it has a warm tone, and there is no fret buzz! I am pleased.

Thank you for this really informative and helpful video. As a relative newcomer to ukulele and someone who only owns a soprano at the moment, and has only played reentrant, may I ask a couple of questions please? 1. Are the Low G strings thicker than the High G? 2. If thicker, can that cause any issues at the nut? 3. Are Low G strings better suited to the ukulele models with a longer scale length? 4. Can using a Low G on a Soprano have issues with tension being too slack on that string? Many thanks and apologies for so many basic questions. I love your playing style by the way and the choice of a Bach Cello Suite
@AnarchyInTheUkuleleTV2 күн бұрын
No problem at all - that's what we're here for! :D 1. Yeah, low G's are thicker than high G's due to the difference in tension. A thin low G would be a bit floppy, and a thick high G would be too taut. 2. You may need to file the nut groove a little bit wider to make room for the thicker string, but not by much. 3/4. They're typically suited for tenors or concerts, but there's no reason you can't do it on a soprano - it just might not be as low as expected, due to the tension required, and the size of the instrument body. If it's a quality built soprano, then you should be fine, but if it's one a the cheaper end of the scale, it might cause the neck to bend. Our recommendation - stick with reentrant on the soprano, and get a tenor with a low G. That will give you the best sound, along with another ukulele...which is essential! ;)

I'm delighted to see something that's a bit difference for once. There are floods of copycat ukulele books on the likes of Amazon promising the earth, but delivering the same basic formula using a handful of public domain tunes. Years ago I saw Manitoba Hal using a loop pedal for his blues performances and it was fabulous.
