The four string piano - a little challenging trying to suggest a bass line with re-entrant tuning. One of my favourite Scott Joplin tunes, again played on my Anuenue Papa long neck soprano uke, this time with black Orcas fluorocarbon strings - very sweet and easy on the fingers.

  • A really elegant performance, David. If it had been originally written like this for uke, rather than for piano, it would still be a classic. The "bass line" works extremely well.

    Thanks Ken. Took a fair bit of noodling to work this one out, but I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing.
