It should be easy to fix your broken uke, Tomo. You can do it yourself. Loosen the strings so they are very slack (or remove them). Gently pull the neck open while you squirt or brush some wood glue in the gap all around the heel. Then if you don't have a large clamp, you should be able to space 2 books apart on the floor approximately 15 inches or so, such that you place the lower bout of the uke body on one book's edge and the nut / 1st fret on the other book's edge, so you have the uke spanning the gap between the books. Then place another book or 2 or very light weights (not too heavy - just enough weight to close the gap at the neck & body) on the back of the uke near the upper bout and wipe off the glue that squeezes out with a damp cloth. Then let it sit for a day and should be good to go! That's what I would do, anyway. Ukes are a blast :)

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! Great way!

[@DerekRose_aka_DJ]

@@TomoFujitaMusic Very welcome and hope you get that soprano back in action!

[@Kevins-Philippine-Retirement]

I concur. I am a hobby luthier who have built guitars and ukuleles. Ukes have very low tension strings and short necks, so just a surface heel joint with high quality wood glue with the method you described will be more than adequate.

What a fantastic video have a good weekend

Thank you so much!

Gets uke, continues to play blues. 😂

Thank you!

That Kiawa ukulele is absolutely beautiful and has great tone! What wood is it made of? I just ordered a Martin S1K soprano ukulele made entirely of Hawaiian 🌺 Koa. I can’t wait till it arrives! It’s amazing how popular ukulele has recently become so wildly popular worldwide. Also Kiawa makes some of the best ukulele’s anywhere. Even better than Martin. But i agree. The small soprano size is the most fun to play!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! Awesome! Please enjoy it!

[@FronzSchornack]

Who would ever have thought you could play rock and blues on a uke, your broken uke I believe is an easy fix, if it's a clean break then a little bit of tight bond glue and a long furniture clamp will do Thanks for sharing.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@mistermangoh]

Do you improvise as you guy or pre written? Man I appreciate your skill and knowledge. I want to start repairing my guitars but I am afraid to damage them. Good thing KZbin exists lol

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

I mix both. I like play as melody

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thanks so much

[@bluehoopful]

Great ukulele playing. Do you teach ukulele blues or have tutorials for the music first played in this video?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! Ukulele is my hobby so I just don't practice. I just play it. I don't teach Ukulele.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

That sounds pretty cool. Cheers! ✌️

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you

[@jhavajoe3792]

Hope you can try out a"Kamaka" uke from Hawaii. It's way up there in tone and quality. Like trying out a Martin guitar? Thanks for the uke demos! Neat!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing!

[@discotecc]

Tomo I think it would be an entertaining video to see you do something different and try to place some old school death metal like a death song or Morbid Angel. D standard and tremolo picking it would be fun to see your attempt at a chaotic and noisy solo in contrast to your usually very elegant playing😃 tell your neighbors to plug their ears for a bit😃

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! Fun!

[@Vizpy]

[@johnnypatterson77]

I want to ask you as a guitar player what could I do in my head while I have no guitar in my hands, I'm always thinking musically but what I could I do to help me be better player while I can't be with my guitar?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Once you know a few things. You can use your imagination and ear training skill. You can join my Guitar Wisdom!

[@Frenchmelodymaker]

Hi Mr Fujita, I don’t know why but when I play ukulele my left hand hurts (and I regularly play guitar without problems). Can you do a video on ukulele set up please ?

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

That’s all about technique!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing

[@russell2910]

Thats great, but i would love to see tomo rip some mandolin.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you!

[@meloysmusicstudio]

A good luthier can definitely fix that. It just needs a neck reset

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! I take care of all my guitars by myself

[@Falafelpapst]

[@davewebster6945]

Famous and Kiwaya names is all same company and same ukuleles. They brand them Famous in Japan and for export they are brand name Kiwaya 👍.

[@dannyhood8857]

Great playing! Thank you Tomo. I have question,'' How do learn ukulele so fast? The tuning is very different. Fingering for the C maj chord is different?

[@BL55]

I thought the tuning was very different also, but.., after some thought, strings 4-1 on the guitar ( D G B E ) are the same intervals apart as the uke strings (usually tuned G C E A). Technically the G is an octave higher, but that doesn’t matter. So, if you use the chord shapes you know for the guitar strings 4-1, they will work on the uke. (Although you will be playing in a different key)

[@DerekRose_aka_DJ]

You can think of it as playing a guitar with a capo on the 5th fret, and missing the E & A strings.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

You’re very welcome! Fun fun fun! Tunings as same as 5th fret / 4321 set strings on guitar! G C E A
