...on the road again, at least this trip is NOT business. This ukulele is my travel companion, easy to play and easy to carry...it is a lot of company in some pretty strange places and in some veery nice places.
This is from my IPAD with no processing at all, I have no idea how it will post.
Shown: newish Collings tenor ukulele (UT-1); mahogany top, sides, back, and neck.
Just replaced the Aquila high g-string with an aluminum wound Hilo low g-string. Not sure how I feel about that.
Close-up on the surface. "Patent Applied For (But Not Granted)" is my favorite piece of American legal text, you occasionally see it on older gear.
Nikon D90 with 50mm 1.8 lens @ f4, 2 cheap flashguns (YN460 & Metz 45) at right & left of subject, triggered with ebay triggers. string of lamps for bokeh.
Bargain Hamano solid mahogany concert uke. Brand new, but with a snapped-off bridge. Currently scraping the finish back down to bare wood to make a better glue joint.
Here are some pictures of my handmade cigar box uke ... which is incomplete. It still needs a bridge. I really like the way it looks now though! The inlayed star (my first time trying inlay... in case you couldn´t tell) is a river clam found in Redwood Falls, and so is the S in the soundhole. The wood of the neck was trashpicked, and the wood of the fingerboard is from a broken beach chair handle. The tuners are classical guitar tuners cut and carved to match. I can´t wait to get a sound out of this thing!
Performed at Orchard Road during Singapore WOW organised by the People's Association Community Arts and Culture Clubs.
this is the back.
lots of pukas.
built up from three
sheets of 3/4, 14-ply
birch ply wood.
there is no coordinator
rod component or
dowel rod as might
be found in a banjo.
this is largely because
the body is quite light.
neck is a bolt-on design
similar to an electric
such as a fender telecaster.
I've been playing around with it off an on today and love it! Granted, it's not the best uke. It has it's issues since it's a cheap uke, but it does the trick for me just fine until I upgrade it.
I'm working on basic chords and my strumming. I want to practice at least once a day.
4 string banjo/uke. Clarophone 4 string. I am currently selling this on ebay for a client, not sure of year.

Sueños, imágenes caprichosas que mezclan nuestros recuerdos, alborotan nuestra memoria durante noches y noches, horas y horas… Los sueños están ahí, cada noche, dentro de tu cabeza. Nadie puede verlos excepto tú porque son tuyos. Sin embargo no puedes controlarlos, dependen de sí mismos aunque se alimentan de ti, pero son simplemente sueños. En los sueños todo es posible: volar, amar lo odiado, vivir lo que nunca has vivido, morir y volver a nacer… De los sueños puedes aprender, puedes olvidarlos...puedes...
Playing at Music in the Meadow at Little Burstead. It poured with rain for a while but people kept on dancing to this very entertaining group. See D'Ukes
