To celebrate the holidays and the opening of the Ukulele Review website, I’ve decided to hold a little contest. All you have to do is to write a comment to this post, listing the ukuleles in your collection and which one is your current favorite and why. Then on Friday 12/28/07, I’ll pick one [...]
My buddy Mr. UPS man dropped a box on my porch this afternoon. The ‘fragile’ stickers all over it told me it was my new uke! I didn’t waste anytime opening the box. By the way, who else hates styrofoam peanuts as much as I do? After digging around in the packing material, [...]
Ok, maybe I shouldn’t call this posting an actual review as I only had this instrument in my hands for about an hour before I boxed it back up and shipped it back to ukulele4u. I ordered it because I wanted to find out if a soprano sized ukulele felt ‘better’ to me than a [...]

Presently, I only have one uke in my possession [...]

Do you need some inspiration to practice your ukulele? If so, spend a few minutes watching some YouTube videos of some great artists. If these people don’t get you to open that case or gigbag, then you’re doomed…
Back in the stone age when I was learning to play guitar, there were only two ways to tune an instrument. By pitch pipe, or by ear. I wasn’t good at either method and was always frustrated that my guitar sounded ‘funky’ when I would play it. Years later, when the first electronic tuners [...]
When I first became interested in the Ukulele and bought an instrument, I was concerned that I would have a hard time learning to play it on my own. I knew my small town would not have any teachers, and I was pretty sure that books and instructional materials were hard to come by for [...]
