you know, if there is anyone who does not have a ukulele (or who is ordering one) you can get a capo and put it on the 5th fret, but only use the bottom 4 strings. The only bad thing is the D string (or rather g when you put the capo on) is one octave lower then on a ukulele. but it works!

I accidently teach uke to senior citizens at our Joslyn Center in Burbank, CA (I used the word accidently because it is a long story) We are in a 2nd yr and progressing slowly. I really enjoy teaching. I have 2 ukes that are both over 50 yrs old. They are a soprano and baritone. The soprano has no ID mark but it has a great tone. The bridge came off shortly after I got it. I didn’t know much about wood working at the time but I glued the bridge back on and pur it 3 phillips head screws. The Baritone is a “Favilla” that was made in New York and the store where I purchessed is ong gone but the ownder told me that he only made 100 per year by hand. I paid $60 for it and I’ve been told it is worth $400+ It has a beautiful tone, also. Jim

I learned to play uke in high school by learning the chords from the Beatles song book…not a popular treatment of Beatle’s music in the sixties. I then bought a Harmony tenor guitar which I’ve played around with now and then and recently dropped and broke the neck. Rather than repair it, ( I’ll hang on to it anyway ) and for not a whole lot more than the cost of the repair, I’ve decided to go more or less back to my ukulele roots and purchased a Paracho Elite twelve-string tiple. I fell in love with a Martin (ten string) tiple back in the early seventies but didn’t want to spend $125 for a new tiple. Now, forty-plus years later, it would be worth around $2000. Live and learn. It’s about the music not the money…sigh.
