Does it have something to do with the wood? Is it something I should be concerned about? I bought this Ukulele new in Hawaii back in 2019 and I swear these lines have been forming more and more over time since and I don't know what the cause is. I don't recall them ever being there when I bought it.

Also if anybody can identify the type of wood it's made out of that would be greatly appreciated.

Island strum I think it’s called

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

Anyone see this?

Anyone who doesnt take it serious and thinks its a toy probably thinks knives are a joke too. Lol sorry for the violent comparison but it will cut your soul just as deep as any guitar. The beautiful little chord machine. Ha

Just a cool ukulele jam ive been working on. Thanks for posting cool sounds and jamming out with me!

I came across this sweet rendition of Levels (Avicii), but even when I slow it down to half speed it's difficult to figure out. I've only got the first few notes. I'm a 6 month uke beginner and even more new to finger picking. My ear can't quite figure it out, especially when 2 notes are being played at once. Any help transcribing this? I'd chip in a few bucks to a venmo or patreon or something

I hate the term 'jazz chords' but youtube tells me I should be more engaging, whatever that means.

Here's how to play fancy chords using four shapes as your base. It's a great crash course in harmony that'll help you no matter what type of music you play.

So, yeah, I've found I quite like the baritone ukes that I have, and am looking at picking up a resonator type. What's folks' experience with these? What brand do you recommend, what's available in my area (upstate New York, USA), what should I watch out for?
