I was figuring out how to work a new editing program so I did a rough recording of a new song I wrote. Turns out my camera does quicktime which is unsupported. so I had to use 3 different programs,...

my ukulele is definately brown, and it has darkened since I bought it.
My man cave. I wanted to do a family photo. I still have 1 coming, the new OM...
I had to take a couple out of their cases to set them up
cgda is fun. you can take what you know on mandolin and play the same thing and it sounds different. I don't play my mandola as much as I should but I do grab the tenor banjo all the time sitting...
I hear ya. I have been stocking up equipment the last couple years while I was still employed. you are so right about the non performance stuff. Most of my gigs now are $100 plus tips (plus the...
I am in geezerville LOL. I figured I have one last kick at the cat so going to try before i get too old. I can always fall back on security/first aid when my hands don't work anymore. And I have paid...
Same chord shapes different names. G is C, C is F etc
No more graveyards for me. I am now a full time musician. I got my buskers license for granville island and have started booking next year already. I did the last 2 days of a Christmas show, they...

Here's the latest installment. I am meeting with Tomy to bring an instrument or 2 to show the neck profile I would like
https://youtu.be/DmdEjQzoCDA
Tomy has done videos on how to make the jigs, benders and such too. he really likes to share his knowledge. Super nice family. His wife sings like an angel too
My arms got tired watching him sanding. It truly does give you an appreciation of all the work. I am surprised how fast he has tackled this job. We have also discussed an acoustic electric OM after...
in the first video he showed the wood. Engleman spruce for the top, quilted maple neck back and sides, ebony fretboard, headstock and binding, mahogany purfling. only small dots on top of neck for...

my first ukulele was $30 cdn. it was a soprano. I gave it to a buddy when I got my kala but honestly that cheapo was way louder than my tenor. he loves it. and you couldn't hurt it. it was a Denver
As a musician I'd add learning to read the crowd and playing the appropriate music to suit them
Wood order went in and no cocobolo for the fretboard so we decided to go all ebony including the binding. I know this is like a blog but I won't have any updates now until construction is underway....
I use the TC Helicon. I have both the voicelive touch 1 and 2. they mount on the mic stand so it's easy to see what you are doing. the 1 has a 3 button footswitch and the 2 can use a 6. it also has...
I love the Shubb. I use it on all instruments. it is adjustable...
OK, so it's going to be a blond with cocobolo binding. we finalized that last night. I am just waiting for a response on whether there is a cocobolo blank for the fretboard. nickel frets, pearl...
I might still go with a blond. I was just talking to Tomy and it depends whether he can get the cocobolo for the binding. I think that would look amazing...
so many choices. I was just looking at...
I am just feeling up to the point of not needing more different types of instruments. I have trouble finding the time to play them all as it is LOL. Heck I just picked up my electric guitar for the...
We have discussed woods, hardware etc and finally getting to where he will be able to start. Archtop with F holes, like yours Pheffernan. Spruce top maple back and sides, allen tp, 1/18 tuners. I...
