TINKLELE BREAKDOWN

[nicolasanatol]

extremely sweet tune on a great sounding instrument. I admire you for mastering slide playing on nylons!

[gutenschneider]

Any bracing inside?

[COVEYWOOD]

nope

[HollyJane01]

I love this!

[Backtrackin1234]

[leobluesy]

[NEILAALIEN]

You can't get any better than unique.

Very nice!

[COVEYWOOD]

:-) glad you like it !

[heretotry]

sweeeeeeeeeet!!!

i loved the feel of it.

really bluegrass.

you make that little uke SING!

[NailseaTTC]

Thanks for this ! :-)

[bbeniamini]

Great!!!

[UkuleleAnesthesia]

Okay now this goes to show u don't need to have a top of the line ukulele to play well...! That was so BRILLIANT and CREATIVE!

[COVEYWOOD]

I like this idea - that music and fun is available to everyone. I first saw a tin instrument in a Documentary about a refuggee camp in Africa where this guy played a spine tingling piece on ahome made tin guitar. :-)

[duthiebeadle]

This is one of the most fantastic pieces i have heard for Uke. Where can I get the Tabs?

Mike.

[COVEYWOOD]

Sorry Mike - I am a tab illiterate.

[natecourt]

Did you make that yourself? I must know how. Also, if I make one, will I be able to play like that?

[COVEYWOOD]

Yes to both questions. The neck of the Tinklele is just a piece of wood nailed on to an old Uke neck and pushed right through the Olive Tin. Very simple. As for the playing get practising today dude ! :-)

[SeanBoke]

Sounds fantastic!

[JGlendi08]

please quit your job and start doing this for a living... it would be foolish not to

[COVEYWOOD]

Thank you young man. I shall start immediately.

[KoopaDad]

Omg, why did you stop?! I know it doesnt sound much, but hearing you play has gotten rid of my depression over a friend. Aside from that, youve inspired me to pick up a uke myself. Please, keep making more videos. Thank you.

[timmschleiff]

How about a video about how to make one?

[xyuc0cu]

fan-bleedin'-tastic!!!!

[googlejoint]

I've just come across your videos and I have to say, the sheer manifestation of human creativity evident in this vid is nothing short of awe-inspiring! Man, you should be up on stage supporting Jack Johnson or something...

[COVEYWOOD]

You put a big smile on my face :-)

[dudewhatthehellman]

its true you know...

[timythedog]

Hi,I made a uke out of a biscuit tin a while back, it sounded good but lacked sustain. Since seeing your vids Ive tried your tuning, now the sustain is fine and I have better volume as well. Thanks very much for sharing your stuff . Your vids are fantastic.

Cheers

[Tortidis987]

how can i make one and how did u figure it out

[fleshgordin]

so bad ass

[marshall201]

duude! thats the coolest uke ever!

[COVEYWOOD]

There was a flash of lightning when I finished making it and the leaves fell off all the trees. Thanks for the post, Marshall. Piers

[fingercheese]

wonderful tune....brilliant...

[COVEYWOOD]

Thanks Fingercheese

[russelljenkinsfearn]

Great tune and Carapelli Breakdown is a great name, don't change it !

[ChickenboneJohn]

What tuning have you got that in?- very nice sound and lovely fluid playing.

[COVEYWOOD]

Thanks John. I tune my uke's a tone higher than most people - ADF#B. Its a trick taught me years ago by an old uke player who was right in thinking you get a better carry and crisper sound.

[obrien135]

Cool! You made that yourself? Good playing

[COVEYWOOD]

Yes, I knocked it up myself down the shed with a cup of tea and a cup cake.Thanks for the post Piers

[Haart911]

sweet !!

[LinkedGuitar]

Very nice song & ukelele!

Did you write the song yourself? (if not, what's it called?)

[COVEYWOOD]

I made it up but haven't given it a name beyond tinklele Carapelli Breakdown. Got any ideas ? Piers

[LinkedGuitar]

Not yet, but i'll let you know if i got one!

[branflake0]

[COVEYWOOD]

[branflake0]
