A rag by Scott Joplin published in 1909. Played on a very fine soprano ukulele built by Dave Talsma, who finished it a few days ago.

I learned this from a piano score from the Mutopia Project at ibiblio.org:

I posted some photos of this ukulele to my Flickr account:

  • Are those dog bones? Sweet! I don't remember that uke.

  • The inlays are little pearl bow-ties. The uke was custom-made for me. I asked the maker to build a uke that looks good with a tuxedo and that has easy-to-see fret markers.

  • You sir are a master with that instrument. I bow to you.

  • Amazing! Hits all the notes with ease. On that lil' thing. I love this version, this man has mad skills!

  • Beautiful uke and great playing, of course!

    I recently saw another Talsma uke on YouTube, (the Gerald Ross tenor via Bosko & Honey), and both look and sound fantastic! 

    Just wondering, are the prices reasonable for a custom uke? If you don't mind, how much did you pay, or in what ballpark? Thanks, and keep up the great vids!

  • Beautiful playing as usual . . . I must say, as beautiful and lovely-sounding as the Talsma is, I kind of miss the robust richness of the Martins you usually play on your videos.

  • Stop, everytime you play this song I lose more money in the stock market. Only kidding, great work as always, thanks ...and could I get a loan?

  • Great! Superb playing, as usual.

  • Oh yes, sorry! I see the bow-tie now! Bow-ties make more sense than dogbones for the heftones! ;-)

  • So well played - and what a beautiful little uke. Lucky you! :)

  • Another beauty!

  • Wow! Wonderful...
