]]> Comment on How do you play guitar chords on the ukulele? by AB http://ukuleleonline.com/ukulele-chords/guitar-chords-on-the-ukulele/comment-page-1/#comment-912 AB Fri, 30 Apr 2010 18:01:30 +0000 http://ukuleleonline.com/?p=12#comment-912 Yes, but I have a follow-up question that I really hope someone can help me with: What about when the guitar chords say to put on a capo, for example on the 5th fret. Then how do you translate these to the ukulele? It comes out sounding all wrong when I play them like they are written, obviously because of the capo thing. A million thank you's to whoever has an answer to this problem!

]]> Comment on Luthier Glue: Which should you use on a ukulele? by Rod http://ukuleleonline.com/ukulele-construction/luthier-glue-which-should-you-use-on-a-ukulele/comment-page-1/#comment-903 Rod Tue, 16 Mar 2010 21:32:10 +0000 http://ukuleleonline.com/?p=114#comment-903 A couple of reasons to use hide glue. It's watersoluble, so you can take an instrument apart later if necessary. More important from my perspective is that it dries "hard", and isn't as likely to dampen vibrations as much as some glues which dry "softer". It also tends to suck the joint tighter as it dries, relying less on extreme clamping pressure to get a good joint. Anyway, those are my opinions... :) A couple of reasons to use hide glue.

Why is it, though, that mandolin players can get quality tools for their inferior (to the almighty ukulele, anyway) instruments? Heh. I mean, sure, my ukulele might have only cost $20, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to treat it like it only cost $20." I love playing my both my uke and my mandolin, but are you seriously saying the mandolin is inferior? What makes you think this exactly? # Ukulele guitar says:

If you have a laminated uke, the instument is immediately dismissed as having little merit musically. Even ukes with a solid wood soundboard like mine, are disparaged by those who swear (despite no evidence, and even some to the contrary) that all solid ukes have a much better tone. It would be interesting if someone were to produce an all laminated uke which sounded so superb that they couldn`t ignore it. There is a lot of snobbery in the ukulele world.
