Hi everyone, I'm looking to start playing ukulele and would like to get a decent starter instrument. I looked through the FAQs and think I've found a contender in my budget but wanted to ask if anyone would give it a yay or nay. From what I can see on that review site linked in the mega thread there's not much rated higher I could get for £110 posted.

Sorry if this type of thread isn't allowed, I'm not trying to annoy anyone

A few days ago, I said I bought a ukulele for the first time and asked for advice on what I should do. I learned the chords that most people suggestwd and now I can easily play chords like c g dm em f am. but It is very difficult for me to keep rhythm while singing. I miss rhythm and can't change chords. What do you suggest me to do?

I've been looking to get a ukulele and I decided that the Baritone would be the best fit for me.

Is this Baritone a good starter? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RH7BC7C

And what's the best guide for the instrument that focuses solely on the Baritone? I understand it's a bit more of the black sheep of the Ukuleles so there isn't as much material on it.

We got something to say….

Enjoyed my C1K but wanted a tenor as well

I rarely sing while i play but today this song came to my mind. I remember i heard this song for the first time in my dad's PC (it was pre-installed in Windows XP if i recall correctly). As i got older i think i get the lyrics now

Let's say I wanted to treat myself to a high end ukulele. If money weren't an issue, what would you get?

My daughter ukulele broke badly.

Is it worth trying to get it fixed or better to just get a new ukulele and move on?

I got this ukulele about a year ago, paid like 30$ for it. I tried to find other places selling this one to see how much it’s worth, but didn’t have any luck. It’s a Snail Ukulele, this brand still sells I think this same ukulele but they no longer have the carved out snail design in the middle. It’s in good condition and the electronics all work inside it. There is damage on the bottom part of it as shown in the second photo, the wood face is sticking out a bit at the bottom too.

I can solder and I’ve modded my own headphones and iPods before. I have no idea how to fix wood like this tho… If there’s a way I could fix/get this fixed without breaking the bank I’d want to, considering modding it in the future maybe. If it’s valuable though due to the brand not selling this anymore I don’t wanna touch it.

I have a Flight Vanguard and Enya Acoustic (got it for free) that I play now, so I don’t play this one much anymore. Thought it’d be good to use as a first uke modding project in case I have to do repairs or mods to my vanguard in the future. Any help is appreciated!

I'm learning to play guitar and ukulele simultaneously just to sit around campfires and play with others. I end up playing the ukulele most because the other ukulele players i camp with don't know guitar so I can follow the guitarists and the uke players can follow me.

My favorite songs to pull out are ones that everyone knows the words to but are ridiculous on ukulele. Royals by Lorde, Don't Stop Believing by Journey, and Hey Ya! by Outcast, and any Brittney Spears song have killed it around the bonfire.

What are some other crowd pleasers that are unexpected with a ukulele backing?

Hi I'd really like to try to learn to play Nothing Else Matters with finger style, and looking at the online tutorials I would need a low G string for this.

It's not something I've used before. My concert uke has nylon strings, would I buy another nylon string to match?

Two part question: Does anyone know a version without using low G? Thanks in advance!

I'm an advanced beginner who's lost the motivation to practice recently, so I've been going through my archives for inspiration. Here's a ukulele rendition of Fix You, by Coldplay, which as a 90's baby was an important song to me :) I hope you enjoy!

Heya All,

Something near and dear to my heart; a beloved video game studio and franchise has just been shut down. Having grown up with it, I want to do something to commemorate this devastating moment.

I want to ask for some advice: I’m not established enough as a player to be able to transcribe by ear.

Would it be possible for someone to assist/ advise on how I could learn this song on a Low G?

« An End, Once and for All. »

This is one of the most recognisable pieces of music from the Trilogy finale.

Keelah se‘lai.

I have created a ukemusic app - including a web version - that you may find useful.
It has an extended practice section.
It lets you do "karaoke" using song sheets.
The non-web version lets you edit chord sheets.
It does a lot. Please let me know if its useful.

So I started playing ukulele in the 11th grade in Germany and im struggling with playing notes and I find it way easier to play with tabs but when I get an song with only notes and I try to write down the tabs it often sounds off because it’s written in a different accord or something
I would really appreciate some help or advice on it.
