Harmony GXT with Ukulele - Full Set

While this is by no means a full demonstration of the Harmony GXT, it certainly answers any question as to whether it can be used with a ukulele.

The set is:

"After You've Gone" (No harmony on this one)
"The Girl from Ipanema" (Harmonies activated in real time...)
"L.O.V.E."
"Walk Right Back" (Harmony throughout)

Yeah, 3 of the 4 are repeat posts for my channel, but whaddya gonna do?

I'm really only using one setting here - 1 higher voice. But it will actually provide 2 harmony voices with many choices: Higher, High, Low, Lower, and Octave.

There are also many different FX settings, each with 3 different "choices". I'm using the default "Hall" reverb, but there is also "Room", "Echo", "Slap", "Combi", and "SFX"

For my purposes - which is performance in open mics - and the style I play, the setting I'm using is just right and doing too much else would be overkill.

I HIGHLY recommend the unit for those who want to enhance their performances. It works wonderfully, though I did need a pre-amp to get the best results.

I'm playing my Kala Acacia tenor which has been outfitted with a Mi-Si Acoustic Trio pickup. My other Kala with a passive pickup created too much of a hum when I'd plug it into the systems where I'd do open mics, so I had to "upgrade" the pickup technology.

I know I look a little "distressed." I was. I kept getting interrupted and was over it. :) Sorry for the mic in my face, but hey - that's show business.

This has gotta be the best "freakin'" uke performance, EVER!...this guys so damn good that it made me a little "sick".....and, those CHORDS he's playing!...I wonder if its all written, or what!..this is an extremely TALENTED uke player!...and whats also very interesting here is that he makes it look all so SIMPLE!.. which its not!..

Again, an extremely talented performer. and, all I can say is, thank God he's not playing that "hawaaian" stuff. he certainly does strumming fantastic here!...

@SalPedi Well, you certainly just made MY day!! :)

Sir i could not resist but to ask you if this ukelele comes with built in pick up from the factory? If not i assume the pick up is installed later to this uke. What model pick up is it if so. Also, i couldn't help but notice that nice neck uke strap. Would you be so kind to tell me who makes those or where i can get that particular one you have. Thanks for your help!

@popitn2nd The uke was fitted with a MiSi Trio pickup. Kala did the installation.

The neck strap I got from Uke Republic ukerepublic. com

Just a question: Did you have to separately install the Mi-Si Acoustic Trio pickup or did the Tenor come in packaged with it? If it was installed, how did you do it?

[boundless]

@idrnoel I actually had it sent to Kala to install after the fact. It did not come equipped.

hi thanks so much for this video. i want to spruce up my live performances and initially thought of getting a pedal for my ukes. i have the kala acacia tenor with misi also and a mainland mahogany tenor with misi. This video has made my mind up to get this. There are not many bits on google showing you can use a uke with the harmony g xt so thank you

[jinfuuu]

I am your biggest fan Bob... I would suggest (as a long time harmony guy) it sounds more alluring when you turn the harmony volume down a little...

I have two of these units, and they're great. They're easy to program and easy to use. Whenever I use it in church, people ask me how I'm able to sing with myself.
