Black Is The Colour.....

This is just to demo the new Ohana Sopranino ukulele I got from Music Guy Mike in Hawaii courtesy of the Ukulele Cosmos website. It's a brilliant little instrument that needs fretting very softly so as not to bend the strings out of tune. Lacking a little bit of bass compared to a soprano or bigger sized uke it's still a joy to play and nicely petite! Solid mahogany and as well made as any of the Ohanas are. I like it!

BRAVO!

You present this song better than most of the "professional" concerts. I'm thinking about starting the Uke, any suggestions or advice?

Thanks! Ignore the $10 ukes from Wal-Mart and aim to spend AT LEAST $40. An Ohana SK-35 would be even better and it's soprano size so good to start with. Then you'll find that even a cheap uke sounds much better when fitted with decent strings: Aquila Nylguts or Worth Browns. And join a club if you can ~ playing with others is (almost) the best fun you can have!

The Lanikai's the better of the two, but by no means perfect! See if you can find an Ohana Soprano SK-10 and if you can stretch to an Ohana SK-25 so much the better because it's not laminate (ply) it's solid wood! Woo hoo! Better tone for sure!

What about a Geared Soprano Ukulele SU14 or a LANIKAI LU-21 Standard Soprano Uke? Would those work ok? Each from the places I found they ranged from $30-70. Would that be normal?
